In this tutorial, I'm going to be showing you how to export OvidSP search results to EndNote, a popular desktop citation management application. So again, these are the search results we got from the search we did in the previous tutorials. What I'm going to do is to export some of these references to EndNote. First of all, I have to select the references I want. So again, I can check these boxes to select specific references. I can also select all references in the current result set by checking this box here. Now I'm just going to click on the "Export" icon, and there's this pop-up box for my export options. In this drop-down menu, I'm going to select "EndNote" Next, I'm going to specify the fields I want to include in my export. Since I will be using EndNote, it makes sense to just export everything in the Ovid record. So, I'm going to select "Complete Reference". Next, I'm going to click on the "Export" button. What's going to happen next depends on the browser you use, and if you have EndNote installed on your computer. If you use Internet Explorer, and if EndNote is installed on your machine, EndNote will start automatically, and take over the process from there. So it prompts me to select an EndNote library to put these references in. I'm just going to select my library. And you can see that my references have been imported into EndNote. If you use Firefox, by default, it'll pop-up a dialogue box asking you if you want to launch an application to import the data, or if you want to save the data as a file. The default application to launch is called "Web Export Helper", which actually will launch EndNote for you. You can also specifically select the EndNote program from the drop-down list. If you decide you never want to see this dialogue box again, you can check the "Do this automatically" box. So I can click on the "OK" button, and EndNote will launch, and the rest is the same. Now, again, this works great if EndNote is installed on the same machine on which you run your OvidSP searches. But, if EndNote is NOT installed on the same machine, this will be a two-step process. First, you will need to save your search results into a text file, in a format that EndNote can read. And then, later, when you are at the machine where EndNote IS installed, import that text file to EndNote. So again, I have selected my references to export, click on "Export", this time I will select "Reprint/Medlars" or "RIS"— both of these will work. I can still choose "Complete Reference", everything else can still be the same. I now have a file called "medlars.txt" if I had chosen the "Reprint/Medlars" format; or "RIS.txt", if I had chosen the RIS format. At a later time, when I'm sitting at a computer on which EndNote is installed, I can copy my saved file to that machine. And I'm going to launch EndNote, choose a library to work with, Now, from the EndNote's file menu, I'm going to choose "Import", I'm going to choose a data file, which is the file that I saved from OvidSP. At "Import Options" choose the "MEDLINE (OVID) filter if your saved file is in "Reprint/Medlars" format; and choose the RIS filter if your saved file is in "RIS" format. If these filters are not in this short list, you can choose "Other Filters...", and a complete list of installed filters will show up, and you can choose the appropriate filters from there. Okay, now I'm just going to leave everything else as default, and click on the "Import" button. And you can see, once again, that my references have been imported into EndNote. Here's what happens on a Mac. I'm using Firefox as my browser. Let's do a direct export first. Select my references, click "Export", Choose "EndNote" from the drop-down, "Complete Reference", click "Export Citations". At "Open With" click the "Choose" button, choose the EndNote application. Now choose an EndNote library, and my references are imported into that library. Now let's do a save and import on the Mac. Click "Export", choose "Reprint/Medlars", or "RIS", from the dropdown, "Complete Reference", click "Export Citations", save the file, the file is called "MEDLARS.txt"., or "RIS.txt". Now launch EndNote, and I have a new, empty EndNote library. Go to "File", "Import", choose the file we just saved, at "Import Options", choose "MEDLINE (OvidSP) if the saved file is in "Reprint/Medlars" format; and "RIS", if the file is in "RIS" format. Leave everything else as default, click "Import", and the references are imported into EndNote. All right, so today we learned how to import references from OvidSP to EndNote. Thanks for watching. I'll see you next time.
