NISHIMATSU Takeshi

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, 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/ !

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,
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

== Where can I download isi?
Go to 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) 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.

== Thanks to contributor(s)!

== Who is the author?
Takeshi NISHIMATSU <t-nissie{at}imr.tohoku.ac.jp>

== 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 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.
