Direct export from Ovid’s MEDLINE
The following method is also applicable to Ovid’s CINAHL database.
- Open an EndNote Library (*.enl).
- Search Ovid’s MEDLINE.
- Click Citation Manager (Fig. 4):
- Citations - select citations to be saved.
- Fields – choose Complete Reference.
- Citation Format – choose Direct Export.
- Action – click Save.
Saved citations will transfer to the EndNote Library (Fig. 5).
Fig. 4 - Ovid's Citation Manager - although 500 are selected, only the first 200 references (the system limit) will actually export.
Fig. 5 - first 200 references from the Citation Manager direct export into EndNote Library placebos.
Ovid's Direct Export system limit is 200 references, in place to prevent a large file size from locking up a workstation during transfer to EndNote.
If all 500 references of the search were required, at least three separate Direct Export actions are required (1-200, 201-400, 401-500). Specify the exact references to Direct Export by typing the designated references in the Range box in the Citations area of Citation Manager and clicking Save.
