Importing Abstracts from Endnote (ris)

I imported my Endnote file with pdf attachments without problems (except that it was very slow so had to break it into smaller files). However, my abstracts ended up in the Notes.

Anyway to move the Notes to the Abstract field? Or tweek the import filter?

My ris looks like this,

TY - JOUR

AB - In 1982, the community structure of termites was studied in the Krakatau Islands, sterilized by volcanic eruption in 1883, and the adjacent area (Panaitan Island and West Java) with the objective of characterizing the ecological attributes of successful colonizers. Three families, 5 genera and 7 spp. of termites were found in the Krakatau Islands, 5 of them (Cryptotermes sumatrensis, Glyptotermes caudomanitus, Glyptotermes sp., Prorhinotermes sp. and Schedorhinotermes javanicus) new to the islands. Between 1908 and 1982, 2 spp. seem to have been replaced by other congeneric species in Rakata Besar, the largest island of the group. Termites in the islands were characterized taxonomically by the dominance of lower termites (Kalotermitidae and Rhinotermitidae) and ecologically by wood feeders constructing their nests in the wood itself; those of the mainland (West Java) were characterized taxonomically by the dominance of higher termites (Termitidae) and ecologically by wood or humus feeders constructing their nests in the soil. The importance of dispersal ability by rafting and asymmetrical interspecific competition is discussed in an attempt to explain the presence or absence of termite groups with different life types in the islands.

    I believe AB is supposed to go into "Note" as per RIS specs. One of the threads linked to from the link above gives instructions on how to get this all right.
  • Abstracts should use the 'N2' tag.
  • Thank you. I will try a global replace in my ris file.
