EndNote and the New PubMed
With the PubMed redesign, the instructions for exporting citations from PubMed to EndNote have changed slightly.
Step-by-step instructions:
- In PubMed, perform your search.
- Use the check boxes to mark the items you want to export to EndNote. You can send the items to the Clipboard for later downloading using the Send to drop-down menu.
- When you are ready to export your citation (or from the Clipboard), click the Send to menu.
- Select File under Choose Destination.
- Select MEDLINE from the Format drop-down menu.
- Click Create File (you may need to turn off pop-up blockers).
- Save the file to your desktop as a .txt document.
- In EndNote, choose File > Import.
- Under Import Data, browse to find your .txt file.
- Select PubMed (NLM) filter for the Import Option. If you do not see PubMed (NLM) on the drop-down menu, click Other Filters. Browse to PubMed (NLM).
- Click Import
Note: Most browsers require you to save the PubMed information as a .txt file and then use the PubMed (NLM) filter to import records.
However, depending on your browser and settings, you may be able to Open the text file with EndNote instead of saving it (step 7 above). If you open the text file with EndNote, choose the PubMed (NLM) filter in order to import your records.
Of course, you can still connect to PubMed from within EndNote using the PubMed (NLM) connection file. The connection file is great for quickly getting known items into your EndNote library. However, if you’re doing extensive subject searching, it’s best to search PubMed directly to take advantange of its searching capabilities–and then export those citations to EndNote.

PubMed Redesign
The new PubMed has arrived.
Major changes include:
Limits, History, and Details tabs have been consolidated into the Advanced Search.
MeSH terms available on the Abstract Display. [No more Citation display or AbstractPlus display.]
Results filters have been moved to the right.
The link to the Clipboard only displays if there are items in the Clipboard.
Searching capabilities (automatic term mapping; etc.) remain the same.
More information can be found in NLM’s Technical Bulletin and in PubMed’s tutorials
