BibTeX export does not export all articles

When exporting my library to bibtex only four out of 100 articles saved are exported. Any idea why?

Yes, it's because at least one of your articles has a type of RPT (it came from a RIS import). That's not a correct value ( see http://www.refman.com/support/risformat_reftypes.asp ). Yes, we should probably check this when we do the import. I've put in quick fix to substitute misc in the BibTeX for any such unrecognised values; your export works fine now.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
