To import records into RefWorks from ProCite it is necessary to obtain an output filter from ISI ResearchSoft Technical Support. This filter, RIS.pos, will be used to export your data in the RIS format. After obtaining the filter, place it in ProCite's Styles folder. This folder's default location is C:/Program Files/Procite5/Styles.
Note: When importing large amounts of references, it is recommended to import no more than 2500 records (or 3MB of files) at a single time. This will ensure a successful import.
From within ProCite select Print Bibliography from the File menu.
Select the RIS output style (be sure to configure the RIS output to include all desired fields).
Select Save, and Text Only as your file type.
Give the file a name and select a location.
Go into RefWorks and from the References menu select Import.
Select Desktop Biblio. Mgt. Software as your Import Filter.
Select ProCite (RIS Format) as your Database.
Browse for and select the file you just created from ProCite.
Click on Import at the bottom of the Import window. The progress in importing is measured by * for each reference imported. RefWorks will notify you when the import is complete. View the Imported References.
10. Your records should automatically appear in the Last Imported folder.
