General Manual Export Method

Mendeley Web Importer Internet Explorer

Very few research databases offer a direct export to Mendeley option. Instead you have to manually export your references as a text file formatted as either RIS or BibTeX which you then import into Mendeley.

In your database:

1. Run a search on your topic in a Library database and mark one or more references of interest.
2. Look for 'export' or 'save' or 'citation' in the database's options (the terminology varies by database).
3. Select the 'RIS Format' (sometimes called EndNote or Reference Manager format) option as your method of export. Alternatively, you may find 'BibTeX Format' as an export option. Mendeley will be able to import either format.
4. Save the export file to your computer desktop or download folder so you can find it again in Mendeley.
