- | Many people coming to Zotero already have extensive collections stored in other reference management software. The following information describes how to make the move from EndNote to Zotero, but the same basic steps apply to many other reference management systems that can export to the RIS format. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===== Exporting Your Library from EndNote ===== | + | |
- | === Installing RIS Output Style === | + | |
- | Zotero can't directly import " | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **//If you have EndNote open, restart it at this point.// | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Modifying the RIS Output Style === | + | |
- | **//This section is only applicable if you want Zotero to import file attachments// | + | |
- | + | ||
- | At the time of this writing, the RIS output style provided by EndNote does not include File Attachments for Journal Article entries during export. Due to licensing limitations we cannot provide you with the modified output style, but you can easily modify it yourself. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * In EndNote, go to the Edit menu > Output Styles. Select "Open Style Manager...", | + | |
- | * On the left side of the window, select " | + | |
- | * On the right side of the window, click the " | + | |
- | * Insert the following line (copy-paste it from this web page to avoid any mistakes) anywhere between the line starting with TY and the end of the Journal Article section (right after KW and before L4 should be the most appropriate spot): | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | * Now go to the File menu and select Save. | + | |
- | * You may close the Style Editor window at this point and go back to your library window. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Preparing Your Library for Export === | + | |
- | It may be necessary, with older EndNote libraries, to convert figures to attachments before you export to a RIS file. This is done by going to the References menu > Figure and selecting " | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Exporting EndNote Records === | + | |
- | * If you wish to export a subset of your EndNote library, select the entries you wish to export. | + | |
- | * Now, go to the File menu > Export. A dialog box will pop up asking you where to save the export file. | + | |
- | * Navigate to your EndNote data directory (typically, My Documents\endnote.Data). There should be a ' | + | |
- | * Select "Text File (*.txt)" | + | |
- | * Click " | + | |
- | * You may close EndNote at this point. | + | |
- | === Exporting File Attachments (Zotero 3.0.8 and earlier) === | + | |
- | **//These steps are not necessary for Zotero versions 3.0.9 and later.// | + | |

- | The EndNote library will be imported into a separate collection. You may remove the collection (right-click > Remove Collection...) without deleting the imported references (they will be moved to the root of your library). | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Because Zotero and EndNote do not have identical reference types and the type of information that is recorded for each reference type is also not the same, some of the values exported from EndNote cannot be imported into Zotero and stored in a dedicated field. Additionally, | + | |
