General Directions to Export References

To export references from most databases, follow these steps:

1. Click on the article you want to export and look for options such as citeexportsave, or download citation. Select the RIS format or EndNote format. To download all the citations for a search in a bulk RIS file, navigate to your main search page and look for options like Export all.

2. Once the download is complete, click on the file to open it. This will automatically import your citation into EndNote. If it does not, follow step 6 under the Getting Started tab to set EndNote as your default citation manager.
