Hi, I have imported EconLit Articles searched in Ovid into a review in EPPI. I imported these as RIS files with a publication type field that is correctly included, but the publication type in EPPI for all of the references is listed as "Document from Internet Site". The problem with this is that the journal name doesn't show up until you manually change each reference to journal article or whatever type it actually is. Do you have any recommendations for obtaining the correct pub type field? Thanks, Andrew

Hello Andrew,

This sort of issue is normally related to how the RIS is set up. Could I ask what the publication type field looked like in the RIS field. If the citations were journals was it 'TY  - JOUR'?

If you wish you can send your RIS file to eppisupport@ioe.ac.uk and I can have a look at it. We should be able to come up with a suggestion on best how to proceed.

Best regards,

Jeff

Just to follow up on the question, the file had ELEC in the publication type tag meaning the import filter was seeing the items as ‘Document from internet site’ . By running a search and replace on the file (replacing ELEC with JOUR) the items were then imported as Journals.

Jeff
