Working as a group with EndNote

Writing about webpage http://www.library.uq.edu.au/endnote/collaboration.html

The University of Queensland Australia have produced some useful instructions for working collaboratively with EndNote. These will be particularly useful if you are a member of a university research group, or if you are working on a joint paper with another author.

Sharing references from an EndNote library with another EndNote user

If you are working on a group project with other people and need to use the same references you can easily export them from one EndNote library into another. Simply follow the steps below:

• In the EndNote library select the group of references that you want to export, so that they are displayed in the main window
• Click on File > Export…
• Use the drop down menu Output style to select RefMan (RIS) Export
• Give the file a name and save it in the normal way

Importing references

• Open the EndNote library that you want to put the references into
• Click on File > Import…
• Click on Choose File… and select the file of references you want to import
• Under Import Option select RefMan RIS
• Click on Import

The references will be imported into the EndNote library.
