Transferring Records from Databases

Most journal databases include a download option that allows the export of records from the database to an EndNote Library. This is called ‘direct export’.

Direct export generally involves the following 3 steps:

  1. Searching the database
  2. Identifying and marking records to save
  3. Selecting the database’s direct export option

If an EndNote Library is open, records will be imported there. Otherwise, locate the EndNote Library as part of the direct export process.

Some databases do not provide a direct export option - instead you may need to use Endnote's Import process.

This process uses import filters - most filters are supplied with EndNote, or can be downloaded from the EndNote Import Filters site


Database Instructions

The process of transferring records from a database into EndNote differs slightly for each database and web browser used. Check the instructions below for further details.
