How to export references from EBSCOhost to EndNote?

If you're doing a search in an EBSCOhost database (such as PsycINFO for example), you can very easily export references to your EndNote Web account.

Exporting one reference at a time

  • To export one reference, click on it's title on the results page in order to access the full record for that reference.
  • Then, in the right-hand-side column, click "export"
  • Check "Direct export to EndNote Web" and click save.

  • You're done!

Exporting several references at once

In order to export several references at once, you first need to add them to a "folder".

If you have created an EBSCOhost acount, then you can save many references in your folder, over the course of several searches, and then export them all at once as explained below.

If you don't have an EBSCOhost account, you can still use the folder feature in order to export several references at once.
But be aware that those references won't be saved in EBSCOhost. It's just a temporary folder.

  • Add references to your folder by clicking on the blue folder next to the references on the results page.
  • Open the folder by clicking on "Folder" in the blue bar, at the very top of the screen.
  • Select the references you want to export and click on "Export"

  •  On the next screen, select “Direct Export to EndNote Web”, just as above.
    If you want, you can also click “Remove these items from the folder after saving” to empty your folder.
    Click on save.

In both cases, afterwards...

  • A new tab opens. If you’ve not logged in into EndNote before, you have to do it now.
  • Click on "My References" to see your new reference. Click on its title to open it in full.
  • Check all of its fields. If necessary, make corrections (typos happen, even in bibliographic databases!).
