Creating an Endnote File in PubMed

You may have noticed that PubMed looks a little different lately.  Just recently PubMed was redesigned with the goal of providing better functionality and an updated look.  As a result, a few buttons and functions have been moved to different places on the page.  Searchers who use PubMed to import citations into Endnote should note that the method of creating an Endnote compatible file has slightly changed.  Here are the new steps:

   1.  Select the citations you want to export. 

   2.  Click Send To in the top right corner of the citation window.

   3.  In the Send To box, choose File.

   4.  Once File is selected, additional file formatting options will appear.  From the Format drop-down list, choose Medline, then click Create File.

   5. You be asked to save the file to a desired location.  The saved file can then be imported into Endnote.

If you have additional questions about this procedure, or any other general inquiries about using the new PubMed, please call 313-916-2550 or email the Sladen Library.
