EndNote and EndNote Web  Tags: bibliographic_management  

Some databases don't have a feature that directly exports citations into EndNote.  Some of those same databases don't have connection files.  To import references from those databases into your EndNote library, you'll need to use import filters.

Hundreds of filters come shipped with EndNote; new and updated filters are available to download from the EndNote product site.

Export a set of selected citations in a particular file format (e.g. a text [.txt] file), open an EndNote Library, then import the references into the library using the correct import filter.

• Once you have your citations saved as a text file, select File > Import . . . from your EndNote menu bar.  Choose the file you want to import, change the Import Option to the import filter that fits the database from which you downloaded the citations, and click the Import button.
