Exporting Citations

If you're gathering documents for use in a paper, ProQuest provides you with an easy way to get all the information you need for a bibliography, sometimes called a list of references or a list of works cited.

You can export bibliographic information directly into into ProCite, EndNote, Reference Manager or Ref Works bibliographic software, or download it as plain text (ASCII).

Follow these steps to export citations from your list for a bibliography:

1. First, make sure you're on the My Research page.
2. Check the box next to each document you want to include in your bibliography.
3. Click the Export citations into EndNote, ProCite, RefWorks or Reference Manager link.
4. You see the Export Citations page. Select how to export the citations:

• Export directly to ProCite, EndNote, or Reference Manager.
• Export directly to RefWorks.
• Download in a format compatible with ProCite, EndNote, Reference Manager, and RefWorks.

5. If you are exporting directly into ProCite, EndNote, Reference Manager, or RefWorks, follow the instructions provided by the bibliographic software application.
   If you are downloading in plain text, or in a format compatible with ProCite, EndNote, Reference Manager and RefWorks, click Save As on the browser's File menu and save the RIS file as a text file.

RIS is a file structure used by ProCite, EndNote, Reference Manager and RefWorks to import data. The file downloaded from ProQuest is organized using this structure.
