To Export from Reference Manager

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 Reference Manager, select the references you want to export.

• Under the References menu select Export.

• Either use the default file name or create a new file for exporting references. Select the RIS format and the appropriate References Option.

• Click Export (In newer versions of Reference Manager, export is located in the File menu).

• Go into RefWorks and from the References menu select Import.

• Select Desktop Biblio. Mgt. Software as your Import Filter and Reference Manager (RIS Format) as your Database. Browse for and select the file you just created from Reference Manager.

• 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.

• Your records should automatically appear in the Last Imported folder.

• Note:  If your data includes diacritic marks or foreign characters, you will need to follow the following instructions to make sure your characters import properly:

1. In Reference Manager, select the references you want to transfer (by highlighting or marking them)

2.  Export the references in RIS format and save the file to your computer.

3.  Open WordPad.

4.  Browse to find the file, but before opening it, change the file type to  "Text Documents - MS-DOS Format (*. txt)" file".  The diacritics should appear in the data.

5.  Re-save the text file in WordPad as a regular text document (*. txt) file.

6.   You can import the file following Steps 5-8 above.
