Exporting References from Ovid to EndNote, Reference
Manager or ProCite
NOTE: Ovid's Direct Export format is compatible with EndNote
version 4 or higher, ProCite
version 3 or higher, or Reference Manager version 7 or higher. This only
works
if you have one of the packages listed above already installed, and have
the library/file to which you are importing already created. It is not possible to create a new library/file "on the fly."
If using ProCite, you may need to first download an Export Plug-in from
the
ProCite website (http://www.procite.com/support/webcap.asp).
- Do your search in the selected Ovid database.
- Scroll down to browse through the first ten references. Click on Next
Citations to continue browsing.
- Select the reference(s) to export by clicking in the box(es) to the
left of the reference(s).
- Scroll down to the Citation Manager menu at the bottom of the reference
display.
- Under Citations, choose Selected Citations.
- Under Fields, choose Complete Reference.
- Under Citation Format, choose Direct Export. Do NOT check Include Search
History.
- Under Action, click on Save.
Your EndNote/ProCite/Reference Manager software will automatically open
and prompt you to select a library/file into which the references will be imported,
and in some cases, an import filter. When the appropriate choices have
been made,the software imports them with
no further intervention. When you close the library
window, the revised library will be saved.
For further assistance with EndNote version 4, see the
interactive
EndNote tutorial at
http://www.isiresearchsoft.com/en/help/EN4tutorial.htm (requires
Shockwave plug-in).
