Hi,

I'm trying to import search results from Ovid. I've exported the results from Ovid and saved them in the RIS file format, but when I try to import them into eppi reviewer I get a message saying "File not found. Check the file name and try again". This happens when I use the RIS and the Ovid RIS import filters. I was able to import a different RIS file yesterday, produced on EBSCO, without difficulty.

Do you have any advice on how to resolve this?

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Just to confirm, were you using our RIS utility at https://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/Default.aspx?tabid=2934, or importing directly into EPPI Reviewer 4 using the import / add source functionality?

Would it be possible for you to email a sample of the files you were trying to upload, so we can check them / try them from here?

Hopefully we should be able to resolve the issue!

 

Best wishes,

EPPI Support

Hi again,

Just to check, I have just exported some Ovid search results and directly imported them into EPPI Reviewer 4 without issue.

To confirm, the process is as follows -:

  • Carry out the search within Ovid and then select Export.
     
  • Select RIS format and Complete Reference from the resultant options, then the Export button and save the resultant file.
     
  • Within ER4, click the Import References button in the main Documents pane (or Manage Sources / Add New in the right-hand side Sources pane). Select RIS format and browse to the file, then click the Read File button followed by Upload Items button.

I will upload screenshots or email them to you shortly.

Kind regards,

EPPI Support
