I added modules

• bp-isi.pl: convert from ISI format to BP "canonical" format and thence to any of the supported formats (EndNote, BibTeX, etc.)
• bp-bids.pl: convert from the BIDS (ISI in the UK) format (not recently tested!)
• bp-p-bbutils.pl: various functions for adjusting capitalization etc. (redundant right now)
• bp-spec-author: list of special author capitalizations etc.
• bp-spec-proper: list of words to be made Proper
• bp-spec-cap: list of words to CAPITALIZE
• bp-spec-species: list of words to treat as Species names

Basically, to use these (under Unix: I have no idea what to do for Mac/Win/etc.), go get Dana Jacobsen's package from the above link and unpack it into a bp directory; set your BPHOME environment variable to the lib subdirectory in that directory; add the above perl modules and files to the lib directory; then do something like bp-0.2.97/bin/conv.pl -format=isi,bibtex foo.wos >foo.bib or get this shell script by Rolf Sander which automates the process a bit and adds some error-checking (note that you will probably have to change the value of BPHOME in the script to match your system ...).

(Thanks to Rolf Sander for the shell script and for corrections.)

DISCLAIMER: these are released under the GPL, do whatever you want with them according to those rules. They are very rough, no warranty, I find them useful. If you want to give constructive feedback I might do something about it someday. If you want to fix them for me, that would be even better.

Known bugs/wish list:

• Not sure the species names etc. stuff works properly. Probably better heuristics available for author names etc.
• I tried to work on automatic key generation for a while, but it turns out that the BibTool package already does a good job of this
• there's some difficulty translating between character sets, italicization, etc. -- this is actually a problem with bp's tex/bibtex code, which I haven't been able to fix yet
