trying to import from EndNote
I just installed Zotero and I'm having trouble importing files from EndNote. In EndNote, I selected the "RefMan (RIS) Export" Output style. I then went to Export and the saved the list as a .txt file. In Zotero, I went to Import and selected the text file. Zotero imported the first six records (out of 65) and then stopped with the error message "An error occurred when trying to import the selected file. Please ensure that the file is valid and try again." One of the files that imported correctly was:

N2 - Predicted that (1) in a given context, all context-independent (CI) properties should be available and irrelevant context-dependent (CD) properties should not, and (2) that since CI properties are always activated by the respective words on all occasions, they should be unaffected by contextual relevance: A CI property should be just as available in an irrelevant context as in a relevant context. The existence of CI and CD properties was demonstrated in 2 experimental settings with 46 undergraduates: the property-verification task and judgments of similarity. The relevance of these property types to cross-classification, problem solving, metaphor, and sentence comprehension, and the semantic-episode distinction is discussed. It is concluded that changes in word meaning over time may often be the result of changes in the accessibility of CI and CD properties. (40 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA )

N2 - Four theories of the human conceptual system--semantic memory, exemplar models, feed-forward connectionist nets, and situated simulation theory--are characterised and contrasted on five dimensions: (1) architecture (modular vs. non-modular), (2) representation (amodal vs. modal), (3) abstraction (decontextualised vs. situated), (4) stability (stable vs. dynamical), and (5) organisation (taxonomic vs. action-environment interface). Empirical evidence is then reviewed for the situated simulation theory, and the following conclusions are reached. Because the conceptual system shares mechanisms with perception and action, it is non-modular. As a result, conceptual representations are multi-modal simulations distributed across modality-specific systems. A given simulation for a concept is situated, preparing an agent for situated action with a particular instance, in a particular setting. Because a concept delivers diverse simulations that prepare agents for action in many different situations, it is dynamical. Because the conceptual system's primary purpose is to support situated action, it becomes organised around the action-environment interface.

dstillmanedited November 5, 2007That second record imports fine for me.
-
aloehrleI opened the text file, deleted the first six records (since they imported correctly) and tried again. This time, it imported three more records (including the one above) before producing the error message.
-
dstillmanDoes an error show up in Report Errors (under the Actions menu) after trying to import?
-
aloehrleYeah, and I just reported the error.
-
dstillmanThanks. If you don't mind, could you send us the RIS file at support@zot....org?
-
aloehrleI just sent it.
-
dstillmanFollow-up sent via e-mail. Was an invalid "UR" field, which Zotero chokes on currently.
