EndNote 21

Import/Export options

Most databases provide a way to export information that can be added to your EndNote collection. Some are easier than others.

  • Below, we list and describe the easy options at the top of this page and the more complex options are toward the bottom.
  • In general, you export information from a database which is then imported into EndNote.
  • In a few cases, you can search from within EndNote and import the information directly. This is fairly easy and is described in the "Online search" box directly below.

What about Google Scholar!

Google Scholar does have the ability to export references into Endnote (but not directly into Endnote Web). If you are on a computer with Endnote installed, Scholar can export (usually incomplete)  references one at a time.

SUMMARY: Google Scholar will export single journal article references (not other publication types) but  usuallly leaves out some crucial data. It is probably the worst database choice if you want to easily export multiple references into Endnote.
