Creating a Tagged EndNote Import File

The EndNote Import format is a tagged format based on the rules of Refer/BibIX format. In this format, each field of data (that is, Journal, Volume, or Title) is preceded by an identifying tag: a percent sign (%) followed by a single capital letter, a number, or a special character. Entire references are separated by one blank line:

Defining Reference Types

Set the reference type for each of the imported references by using %0 (zero) and the reference type name.

The default reference types are listed below. If you have modified a reference type, your EndNote data files should use the new name instead.

EndNote Tags and Corresponding Fields
