If you want to import references into an EndNote library from Google Scholar or My NCBI, follow the steps below:

Google Scholar (Importing Individual References)

If you are importing individual references from Google Scholar:

• Go to Google Scholar.
• Click on Settings near the top of the page.
• Under Bibliography Manager, select Show links to import citations into
• From the pull-down menu, select EndNote.
• Click Save.
• This will tag each Scholar reference with an Import into EndNote link.

Google Scholar (Importing an Entire Page of References)

If you are logging into a Google account to export an entire page of references:

• Save the Google Scholar file.
• Change the file suffix from .enw to .txt.
• With the EndNote library open, go to File -> Import.
• Select the .txt file.
• Make sure Import Options is set to EndNote Import.
• Click Import.

If that does not work, try using the RIS filter as the Import Option and follow the same process as above.

My NCBI

• Go to PubMed.
• Click My NCBI in the upper right corner of the page.
• Log into My NCBI.
• Click on Manage My Bibliography at the bottom of the My Bibliography box.
• Select All or just the desired reference(s) by clicking in the box(es) next to the reference(s).
• Click on Send to -> Citation Manager at the top right of the screen.
• Make sure you select the appropriate Number to Send in the drop box. This will work for up to 200 citations.
