EndNote

Exporting from the Databases

Nearly all databases offer options for exporting reference information to EndNote, however the method and wording for downloading the reference vary greatly from one database to another. Below are a few common examples:

• EBSCOhost
• JSTOR
• ProQuest
• ScienceDirect
• Web of Science
• Google Scholar

If you have trouble exporting from these or any other database, please contact our EndNote specialist using the Help & Support link or ask UTSA Libraries Chat.
