Import from PubMed
1. Conduct a search in PubMed.
2. Select references to import using the check boxes (or, for an individual reference, also the Cite button).
3. Click on the Send to button.
4. Choose strong > Citation manager and click on Create File.
What happens next depends on your web browser:
- Internet Explorer (PC) – the references will be imported to Endnote automatically.
- Mozilla Firefox (PC and Mac), se below:
From the drop down meny (Open with) choose Other... and Endnote X9 (will be default after choosing a first time).
Any other browser (e.g. Chrome or Safari):
- In PubMed, choose File as destination and change the format to MEDLINE. Click on Create File. The file will be downloaded to your computer.
- In Endnote, go to File and Import...
- Select the downloaded file (with the extension .txt) and choose PubMed (NLM) in the Import Options list (this will be the default setting after choosing a first time).
