Managing References Using EndNote (1)

Then choose your preference.

Using this way you can save your time from manually typing your references.

For a site like NCBI, it uses MEDLINE format instead of RIS, and cannot be directly imported to EndNote library by just clicking the file. You need to perform this operation.

Find ‘Send to:’ and choose ‘File’ and ‘MEDLINE’ format. The file will be saved as text file (.txt). To import it to EndNote, open EndNote interface, select ‘File’ ->‘Import’ -> then you will see this window appears.

In ‘Import Option:’ choose MEDLINE (Medscape), find your .txt file, and then click ‘Import’.

Your reference will be added to the library.

At first I was confused how to export the citation from NCBI site, but then my lab mate taught me how to do it. Thank you!

One important note: the journal in MEDLINE will be abbreviated, for example Water Research will be written asWat Res, while RIS (.ris and .enw) keeps the full name. Just make sure to double check your reference display.
