Supported Formats for Export
Formats for Exporting Independent Bibliographies
Use the Export command to create a free-standing bibliography in either of the following formats:
- RTF (Rich Text Format)
The RTF export is an ideal way to create a free-standing bibliography that can be edited or printed using a word processor. This format can be opened by all popular word processors and preserves font and text style information. - HTML
Documents exported in HTML (HyperText Markup Language) provide an easy way to post reference lists on the World Wide Web.
In your Web browser, set text encoding to Unicode-UTF 8 to appropriately display extended Unicode characters in the exported document.
Formats for Exporting to Other EndNote Libraries or Other Programs
- Text File
The Text File export option is suitable for draft purposes or exporting references to be imported into another bibliographic database programs. It is usually used with styles such as EndNote Export, Refer Export, RefMan (RIS) Export, or Tab-Delimited, or you can create custom styles, as needed. This format cannot include formatting, such as italics, bolding, superscripts, or subscripts. - XML
The XML option exports in a proprietary EndNote XML format that can be imported into EndNote or EndNote online. The main advantage of this format over exporting a text file is that it can retain formatting that was applied to the original reference data, such as italics for species names, or superscripts or subscripts in chemical names.
Note: The Export command exports only text; images are not included. To reattach figures to your records, see The Figure and Caption Fields.
