Import routines The source is supported according to GetARef's help file
  • Some suppliers can deliver dump files in several formats and GetARef typically supports only one or a few of them. Therefor, check the the dump format is appropriate by comparing the one you've used with the one recommended in GetARef's on-line help and if possible select an alternate dump format provided by the supplier.
  • Check that the sources was correctly identified (by GetARef or by you)
  • If everything seems Ok but for the way GetARef works, please provide a bug report, see Bugs.

Provided that the source from which you want to download and import references is publicly available (commercially or not) DatAid AB will develop a working import routine within a few working days. This, however, requires your cooperation.

Submit an e-mail to DatAid with the following information:

  • Obtain a short description of the source, for instance: what type of information it contains; who is using it; how it is accessed; etc. Also, report any a web address that describes the source.
  • Suggest a description of the source that can be recognized by other users, e.g., Medline from Silverplatter and BIOSIS from WebSPIRS.
  • Retrieve at least 15-20 references in one or several formats and of various types (journals, books, chapters, etc). In general, the more complicated formats, the more examples will be needed to create a functional import routine. Make sure that each formats used is properly identified.
  • If it is not obvious, indicate what information should be imported to a reference file.
  • Attach the dump file to your e-mail.
