Multiple Authors and RIS import

badrinarayanang

I'm trying to import an RIS style text file from Endnote into Zotero. I followed all instructions in zotero.org and the forum. I had multiple authors for a few references. I entered the multiple authors data in Endnote in this way, for example: Narayanan, G. Badri., and Terrie L. Walmsley. I find that in the zotero library, such references just pick up the first author! I checked and found that they have the same multiple authors in the RIS style text file too. Can anyone help me figure out where I'm going wrong? Thanks! Badri

could you post the RIS here? (open with a text editor, select all, copy, paste) - just for one entry of course.

yeah, that's not right - they should be in separate lines.
Is that even an acceptable form to add authors in Endnote?
I don't really see a good way of fixing this, unless Endnotes RIS output filter can be modified to do this correctly.

this is not correct endnote input. in Endnote, all authors have to spearated by a break. You can fix this in endnote with edit/change text, and then replace all commas in author field with a break.

Thanks a lot adamsmith & migugg. I have corrected and it works fine now.
