Direct export of references into EndNote:

Direct export is not available in MathSciNet.

Saving references to import into EndNote:

To import references from MathSciNet into EndNote:

Mark the references you wish to save by ticking in the box next to the reference.
Choose Citation (EndNote) from the drop down list of options, at the top of the page.

Click on Retrieved Marked.

File>Save as.
Choose a file a name.
Save the file as a Text (.txt) file.
Click Save.

Importing references into EndNote using a filter file:

Open Endnote
File>Open
Choose a reference library in the Select a Reference Library window.

Click Open.
File > Import…
At Import Data File click Choose File and browse to the downloaded text file of references you wish to import.
At Import Option choose Refer/BiblX from the list of import filters.

Only the citation will be downloaded into EndNote. If you wish to save the abstracts then you will have to copy and paste them from MathSciNet into EndNote.

Filter File for MathSciNet

Use the Refer/BiblX import filter that comes installed with Endnote.

Known Problems with this Filter:

Only the citation will be downloaded into EndNote. If you wish to save the abstracts then you will have to copy and paste them from MathSciNet into EndNote.
Since only plain text files can be imported into EndNote, this filter cannot be used to import images, graphics etc.
Before importing, corporate authors (following the Refer %Q tag) must end in a comma or EndNote will not be able to distinguish them from personal authors, therefore parsing them incorrectly.
The Refer format lacks a tag for reference type. Before importing, you may wish to add a %0 (zero) to the beginning of each reference, along with its reference type, e.g.%0 Journal, Article Otherwise (to avoid loss of data), everything will be imported into the Generic reference type. N.B. If your data consists solely of journal articles, you may simply change the Reference Type setting to import everything as a journal article.
If, as is common with Refer data, you have created unique custom tags, you must edit this filter to accomodate them, otherwise, the data associated with those tags will be lost.
