Dear Rubies and TeXnichians, isi-1.1.2 is released. isi converts ISI Export Format to BibTeX Format. This is a Ruby script. You can use isi as a library. (Its former names were isi.rb or isi2bibtex.rb.) ISI Web of Science, [http://portal.isiknowledge.com](http://portal.isiknowledge.com), provides their bibliographic information in ISI Export Format. You can get the tagged Marked List in Web of Science by pushing the [SAVE TO FILE] button. Its gem is also ready. Now, RubyGems user can install isi easily. This release is also for the new tag “AF”. Download it from [http://rubyforge.org/projects/isi-rb/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/isi-rb/) ! ## Three different ways of installation is described in this README: == What is isi? isi converts ISI Export Format to BibTeX Format. This is a Ruby script. You can use isi as a library. ISI Web of Science, [http://portal.isiknowledge.com](http://portal.isiknowledge.com), provides their bibliographic information in ISI Export Format. You can get the tagged Marked List in Web of Science by pushing the [SAVE TO FILE] button. == Where is the homepage of isi? [http://isi-rb.rubyforge.org](http://isi-rb.rubyforge.org) == Where can I download isi? Go to [http://rubyforge.org/projects/isi-rb](http://rubyforge.org/projects/isi-rb) . == How can I install isi? There are three different ways to install isi.rb. === I. Conservative way; use setup.rb isi-X.Y.Z.tgz package can be installed as: $ tar zxf isi-X.Y.Z.tgz $ cd isi-X.Y.Z $ su # ruby setup.rb === II. RubyGems users can take an easy way There is an easy way, if you are a RubyGems user: $ gem install isi === III. Simple way; just copy isi.rb Just copy lib/isi.rb (isi-X.Y.Z.rb) into your working directory which contains your saved “Marked List”, e.g. savedrecs.txt. $ cp lib/isi.rb ~/your/working/directory/ ($ cp isi-X.Y.Z.rb ~/your/working/directory/isi.rb) $ cd ~/your/working/directory/ $ ruby isi.rb savedrecs1.txt savedrecs2.txt $ ruby isi.rb \< savedrecs.txt \> savedrecs.bib Last two lines are examples of usage for this installation way. Note that Text::Format ([http://rubyforge.org/projects/text-format](http://rubyforge.org/projects/text-format)) is required. == How can I use it? === Save the marked records to an output file in ISI Web of Science Mark the articles in ISI Web of Science. Then, view and save the marked records to an output file (savedrecs.txt). I recommend to check “Author(s)”, “Title”, “Source”, “abstract\*”, “keywords” and “source abbreviation” as the fields to include in the output file. === Here are some examples % isi2bibtex savedrecs.txt % isi2bibtex savedrecs1.txt savedrecs2.txt \> savedrecs.bib % isi2bibtex \< savedrecs.txt \> savedrecs.bib % cat savedrecs.txt | isi2bibtex \> savedrecs.bib === You can use isi as a library. T.B.A. == Copying isi is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. You can copy, modify and redistribute isi, but only under the conditions described in the GNU General Public License (the “GPL”). == Thanks to contributor(s)! - Marcin Dulak == Who is the author? Takeshi NISHIMATSU \ == Why did he write it? Because he do not like the output format of the Perl version. == Is there a Perl version? Yes. You can find the Perl version by Jonathan Swinton, Ben Bolker, Anthony Stone, John J. Lee in CTAN [CTAN: /tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/isi2bibtex](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/isi2bibtex) . == I do not like the output format of isi2bibtex, neither! The output format is defined in the source code WYSIWYGly. So you can change by yourself easily. == Meanings of tags in ISI Export Format: See [http://isibasic.com/help/helpprn.html](http://isibasic.com/help/helpprn.html) . === file-unique tags FN: File type.
