Direct Export | Importing References into EndNote using a filter file
Direct export of references into EndNote:
Direct export is possible with Legaltrac but editing is required.
- Perform your database search.
- Select the references you wish to save by checking the box next to each citation.
- Click Marked Items.
- Click How to Cite Marked Items.
- In the Export to third party software field choose Endnote and click Export
- Click Open
- Choose your Endnote library
- The citations from the database should now be in your Endnote library. References will require manual editing.
Edit each reference as follows:
- Double click on each of the new references to open them for editing
- Cut the Journal name from the Notes field and paste it in the Journal field
- You may need to edit the Pages field, either by deleting the number of pages in brackets or substituting a range of pages, for example putting 40-41 instead of 40(2)
Importing references into EndNote using a filter file:
This method is not recommended. The Infotrac (Gale) filter that comes with Endnote does not work well with Legaltrac.
