EndNote: Importing references from databases

The results of database searches can usually be transferred automatically into EndNote.

1. Direct export - see EndNote tutorial.

Some databases allow an easy direct export from a database search to an EndNote library. In the database look for Export to bibliographic software, Direct export, or similar. EndNote must be installed on your computer.

2. Importing using filters - see EndNote tutorial.

If direct export is not possible, you can import a saved search into your EndNote library using an EndNote filter.

  • First, save search results in the format that EndNote recognises. See instructions against each database below.
  • Then import using the correct EndNote import filter for your database. EndNote already has filters for many databases. Otherwise, download one from the table below to the System (C:)>Program Files>EndNote>Filters directory.
