Automatic Export of PubMed® Citations to EndNote®

Abstract

The export of MEDLINE references to EndNote® can be accomplished in various ways. Unlike Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed® does not have a direct export feature to EndNote. Until recently, PubMed references had to be saved as a text file to import into EndNote. Now, the automatic export of PubMed references can be done using Internet Explorer (IE) or Mozilla Firefox Web browsers. The development and teaching of seamless citation management is a value-added service to health professionals.
