Direct Export of Records from PubMed

Many information providers have a direct export option that allows you to send copies of references directly to an EndNote library. The direct export process automatically selects an EndNote import filter to map bibliographic information into the appropriate EndNote fields. All you need to do is select the EndNote library into which the data should be imported.

  1. Go to the PubMed Web site in your Web browser at http://www.pubmed.gov.

  2. In the Search field, enter your search criteria to execute your search.

  3. Click the Search button.

  4. Select the needed results, and then select Citation Manager from the "Send to" menu.

  5. Click Create File to export your selected records directly to EndNote.

The selected PubMed records will appear in a temporary group called Imported References in the Groups panel. Select the references and move them to a group within your open library.
