I can not export references I found in PsychInfo to my EndNote Libraries. I have seen a similar thread for Windows, but I work on macintosh and I can’t find a way to do it. In fact, when I ask to export, it does it but ends in my downloads and from there I can’t make the transfer to an EndNote Library. In my downloads, references I exported are files.ris
Actually, I do not know exactly, I am a beginner in the use of EndNote. I am using PsychInfo trough the services of my university library services: they have a direct access to PsychInfo. Where should-I look to know if I am using Ovid?
If the access is direct it is probably through APA PsycNet. look at the top of the interface, you would see “Ovid” at the top of the search interface if you were using Ovid. Also, did you contact your library, they might have someone there to help?
The solution is to drag and drop (without opening) the downloaded ovid.cgi file from your downloads folder to the Endnote appplication icon on your dock. If your Endnote library is open, it will import but if not, it will ask wich library you want to open and then import the references. This process also works for EbscoHost databases (downloaded file is named “delivery”) and Informit databases (downloaded file is named “save records”) . I hope this helps!
If you are using Safari, that browser will not allow Direct Exports to take place. You would either need to import the file after it is saved or use a different browser, Firefox for example:
