  Getting References into EndNote

  Getting references into EndNote involves exporting references from article databases, journal websites, library catalogs and Google Scholar and then importing those references into EndNote. Mostly this happens automatically with Direct Export.

  Choose your database, journal website or catalog from the list below to view reference export instructions. (HINT: Use Ctrl+F or Command+F to search the page).

  If you need to select an Import Filter to complete the export process, the proper filter is noted at the bottom of each set of instructions.
