If you find that a pesky SO - is appearing before journal titles when you export records from the Biological Abstracts database to EndNote the following "simple" operation will fix the problem:

  1. Click on Edit/Import Filters
  2. Click on Open Filter Manager
  3. Scroll to Biological Abstracts (OVID) and double-clickto open the Filter editor
  4. From the list on the left hand side of the screen click on the bottom option, Source Parsing
  5. Click on the Use Smart Parsing option
  6. Click on File/Save and close the Filter editor
Your direct export should now work probably. If it doesn't, or if you can't follow these instructions, please contact us.
