Create records from text reference section

EndNote EndNote General
1

Hi everyone,

I am new to endnote, so I am sorry if this question comes up often. Can endnote (or any other software that you know of) create reference records by scanning a word document that contains a list of references? That is, is it possible to take a list of references and have endnote identify the reference format (e.g., APA), and automatically look up and download extra information about each reference? I know that some online databases do similar things in order to link referneces to other documents, so I know that it can somehow be done. 

Thanks.

[Edit: Oops, it looks like this should be in the how-to forum, not the general forum. I apologize, and a mod can move this if desired]

Try http://www.erik-senst.de/literaturlistenpruefer/ (The site is in German but it’s pretty self-explanatory.)

You can paste your bibliography and export it to zotero or Citavi (http://www.citavi.com/). If needed, you can easily transfer it from there to EndNote.

Hope this helps.
