EndNote is a citation management tool available to current Ontario Tech students and faculty through the Software Portal. After graduation, students who wish to continue using their EndNote library can export it into a free tool such as Zotero or pay for EndNote.
The guides below provide instructions for downloading multiple search results from selected databases such as ProQuest, EBSCO, Ovid, CINAHL and grey literature sources. This is particularly relevant for those engaged in knowledge/evidence synthesis research.
While most research databases have an export option that allows you to export search results directly to EndNote in a file format such as RIS, some do not. For those databases, you can either enter each reference manually, or you can check to see if EndNote has created a custom filter. When you use a filter, you save your database search results as a text (.txt) file and then import the file into EndNote using the previously downloaded filter.
