Getting citations into EndNote from PubMed

1. If you have not already done so, create an EndNote library. (You can also put the citations in an existing EndNote library.)
2. Search PubMed as you normally would.
3. Use the check boxes to mark the items you wish to export to EndNote. You can send the items to the Clipboard for later downloading using the Send to drop-down menu.
4. When you are ready to download (or from the Clipboard), click the Send to menu.
5. Select File under Choose Destination.
6. Select MEDLINE from the Format drop-down menu.
7. Click Create File (you may need to turn off pop-up blockers).
8. Save the file to your desktop as a .txt document.
9. In EndNote, choose File > Import.
10. Under Import Data, browse to find your .txt file.
11. Select PubMed (NLM) filter for the Import Option. If you do not see PubMed (NLM) on the drop-down menu, click Other Filters. Browse to PubMed (NLM).
12. Click Import

The program should do the rest!

Note: Most browsers require you to save the PubMed information as a .txt file and then use the PubMed (NLM) filter to import records. However, depending on your browser and settings, you may be able to Open the text file with EndNote instead of saving it (step 8). If you open the text file with EndNote, choose the PubMed (NLM) filter in order to import your records.
