New PubMed: Exporting Citations into EndNote

When saving citations in PubMed for importing into EndNote there are two ways to do so:

1. Use the Display Results link and limit your download (using File Save As from your browser) to 200 citations.
2. Use the Send To link > Click Send To > Select File > Click Format dropdown and change to MEDLINE > Click Create File Button and you will be allowed to save more than 200 citations in the MEDLINE format used by EndNote.

Note: The EndNote PubMed filter was changed in November 2009! You need to update your EndNote filter!

• Go to: http://www.endnote.com/support/enfilters.asp
• Click the Filtering Options Tab
• Change "Filter by" to NLM and click the Filter Files Button
• Download & save the PubMed filter to: C:\Program Files\EndNote X?\Filters
  [EndNote X?=whatever version you have]
  (Mac users save in EndNote application folder in the Filters folder.
• If it asks do you want to replace one already in the folder ... YES

A patch for X2 is available here: http://www.endnote.com/support/ENX201_WinMac_updater.asp A Patch for X1 and earlier is being worked on. To register to receive notification when the patch is available click here: http://www.endnote.com/support/enregister.asp

Here's how to edit imported records where this has occurred:

  OR
