EndNote: Adding References from SCOPUS database

The Scopus database retrieves the most publications of any database.  This page contains directions on how to upload SCOPUS references into your EndNote libraries.

No database indexes every publication.  We strongly suggest that you search every database in this section of the LibGuide to compile the most complete EndNote libraries.

Importing records from Scopus

 5.    In the Document Results Window Click on Export

In the Output page choose RIS format and Complete format from the dropdown windows then click Export
