Citation Managers

Introduction

Most citation management programs provide ways to convert citations into common formats for transferring into other programs (i.e. from Zotero to EndNote,).  Below are some links to instructions for doing this.

Switching to Zotero

Zotero makes it very easy to switch managers. The instructions below are for EndNote, but they easily translate to other systems.

At a most basic level the process is:

  1. Export citations as a file in some format (such as "RIS file") from your starting application.
  2. Import that file into your new application.
