Exporting a Zotero Style to Endnote??

delayedmansour

Hello Everyone,

My school has a specific style called: triangle. you can find it
here:

1- go to: http://www.zotero.org/styles
2- in the bar under the name *style search,* type "triangle".
3- you will get "triangle (french)". if you click on it, it will give you
this: http://www.zotero.org/styles/triangle

---

an example of how this style appears on citations is found here:

http://cours.sciencespo-lyon.fr/mod/resource/view.php?id=499

it is in french, but it is self explanatory.

---

someone had showed me how to save the triangle style page as a "csl" file,
which would then be moved into the application (papers) as a usable style.

---

my question is: can i have *triangle* saved as "ens" file, so that i could
add it to the endnote library of styles? if yes, how could i do that?


thanks a lot!

I already answered your question on GitHub: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/pull/597#issuecomment-19202461

Zotero and the Citation Style Language project only use CSL styles. If you need an EndNote style, ask on the EndNote forums.

thank you.

I was referred by Endnote's team to come post a question here.

I thought there will be a different expertise here.

thanks anyway.

What did they say, exactly? Can you point us to the relevant EndNote forum thread, or quote their email?

In an email.

"You may check with Zotero documentation to see if they provide an option to export a style in a format that EndNote can read. (.ENS format)".

I hope this could lead to a solution.

It's strange to see that their support is so ill-informed. Thomson-Reuters, the company behind EndNote, actually sued the makers of Zotero a few years ago because Zotero allegedly had the ability to convert ".ens" styles to ".csl" styles, and Thomson-Reuters argued that they held the rights to all ".ens" styles and that Zotero was infringing. This wasn't actually the case, and apparently they don't see the irony of recommending you to do the reverse. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zotero#EndNote_lawsuit for some background.

But the answer is still no. It's not possible to convert one style format into the other.

I have read about that as well, during my endless quest for a solution. nonetheless, I don't think that they inform all of their employees, including the new ones operating from overseas for phone services, of all of their legal disputes.


thanks anyway.
