The post Import From Another Reference Manager appeared first on Papers.

Here is an example of a record from ClinicalTrials.gov using the the NLM citation guidelines:

Cannon R. Rilonacept to improve artery function in patients with atherosclerosis. 2006 Dec 29 [last updated 2012 Apr 25; results first received 2009 Sep 14; cited 2015 Apr 25]. In: ClinicalTrials.gov [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): U.S. National Library of Medicine. 2000 –   . Available from: http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00417417 ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00417417.

First, use ClinicalTrials.gov to locate and select clinical trials using the search interface:

Mark the records you wish to export and click the “Download” button:

On the download screen, select “CSV” for “File Format” and the following data fields: NCT Number, Study Title, Brief Summary, Sponsor, Collaborators, First Posted date:

Open the .CSV file in your spreadsheet software (e.g. Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers) and map the columns to the correct fields in ReadCube. Change:

• NCT Number -> publication title
• Study Title -> title
• Brief Summary -> abstract
• Sponsor -> contributor
• Collaborators -> author
• First Posted -> date

Then, create two new columns with the data as shown below:

• “access date” = today’s date  (i.e., the date that you saved the ClinicalTrials.gov record)
• “type” = webpage

Save this spreadsheet as a “.CSV” and open the desktop version of Papers.

Go to File -> Import -> .CSV, choose the newly saved .CSV, and select the desired destination

The clinical trials will be imported as new website references in Papers and you can then edit the individual records if you need to add or correct any information.

Helpful Tip: If there are additional data from the ClinicalTrials.gov database that you would like to export, you can map it to any of these Papers fields listed here.  

You may also wish to consult this guide to importing and exporting .CSV files with Papers.

1. Click the “+” button at the top right of the page.
2. Next, select “Create Manual Entry…”
3. Enter any relevant metadata.
4. Click “Save” and the reference will be added to your Papers library.

In your library, these references will not have the paperclip icon associated with the entry, meaning there is no PDF available for the reference.

To add the full-text PDF to a reference, you can add the file to the attachments tab. If you know the DOI, add it to the metadata and click “Save”. Then select the reference in your library, right-click and choose “Locate PDF.” Papers will search for the full-text PDF and add it to the reference, as long as you have access through a subscription to the journal or it is open-access.

By importing your .ris file into Papers from an external database, you’ll be able to easily import all the metadata of your references. 

In order to import your .ris, Papers offers two different options: you can simply drag and drop your .ris file directly into your library where it will import, or, you can use our import menu option located at the top of our app:

By design, .ris files only contain metadata; there is no way to include PDFs within a .ris file.

However, if you have PDFs that need to be imported as well, no need to worry. Once you’ve imported your .ris file and the metadata of your citations/library has been imported, you can import your PDFs separately and they will match with the metadata present in your library, provided vital metadata information such as DOI and/or a PMID is present. 

To import your PDF, you can use the same two options covered above: you can simply drag and drop your PDFs directly into the app, where it will match and merge with the metadata already there, or, you can use the same import menu option that you used to import your .ris file.

You can also manually attach PDFs (or supplements) by navigating to the “Files” section of a selected reference:

I’m not sure about AI, what does the new AI assistant do? 

We’re glad you asked! The new AI Assistant is designed to make your research life a bit easier. It has a variety of functionality that will continue to grow over time but right now, you’re able to “chat with a PDF” and ask questions across your library. For more information, please see these two articles:

Introduction to Papers AI 
Papers AI Chat with PDF

To ask questions of your entire library, please see this article.

Does Papers AI support multiple languages?
Papers AI Assistant (Chat with PDF) supports other languages – you can speak to the Assistant in a language other than English and, generally, it will respond in that language. Our Library Assistant (Chat with Library – Pro) supports queries in any language but will only respond in English. This may change with future updates and improvements to the tool. 

How is my privacy protected with the new AI Features? 

We’ve designed our AI Assistant with privacy and security top of mind. When you utilize the AI Assistant none of your prompts or the returned answers are sent back to the large language model (LLM) to train the AI. We wanted to be sure all of your information and privacy is secure, so you have peace of mind. 

I have an additional question not addressed here.

If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Support Team who will get back to you as soon as possible. In addition, please see our knowledge base and training center.
