Fields with Special Characteristics
Certain EndNote fields contain special restrictions on what sort of data can be imported. These settings cannot be modified and apply to all import filters.
- Author Fields: The words "And Others" get converted to "et al" and the word "and" is omitted. Years as well as parenthetical or bracketed text are removed by default. See Author and Editor Parsing in Import Filters and Connection Files.
- Year: Only 4-digit numbers (1### or 20##) are imported.
- Title: The following punctuation is removed from the end of a title.
| Removed Characters at End of Title |

| , | Comma |
| ; | Semicolon |
| : | Colon |
| / | Forward slash |
| \ | Back slash |

- Pages: A "P" or "p" before the number is automatically removed.
- Volume: A "V" or "v" before the number is automatically removed, as is a number that appears to be a year.
- Issue: An "N" or "No" or "No." before the number is automatically removed (this is not case sensitive).
