I am wanting to direct export articles into my library and am encountering the following problem with Endnote X4 (Mac):
When I click the export button on the article for direct export then click 'direct export to RIS format" then click “save” the article is saved as a text file and not as “RIS format” whereas I want this to go directly to my library. I have used endnote for a while and didn’t earlier have this problem. How do I do this? I have marked all filters in the filter manager so don’t understand why the selected article is appearing as a text file.
any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated as am getting very frustrated, not to mention the wasted time in trying to fix this issue!
There are a couple of possible reasons this may be happening. If you are using the default Safari browser for the Mac, Direct Export will not work. See this article for details:
If you are using an alternate browser, you need to configure it to export to EndNote. For information on configuring Firefox for Direct Export on the Mac, see the following article:
