How do I export to bibliographic management software?

This feature allows you to export a record from the ICPSR Bibliography of Data-related Literature. When you click on "Export citation" for a given record, you are able to save that citation in RIS format to EndNote, EndNote Web, Zotero, RefWorks, and other bibliographic management software:

Note: Zotero and EndNote both try to capture input from RIS files. To prevent Firefox/Zotero from automatically saving your exported citation, go into Zotero Preferences, and under Miscellaneous uncheck the box that says "Use Zotero for downloaded RIS/refer files."

Export to EndNote (application installed on your computer)

  1. Click Export citation to launch the export application.
  2. The system launches a dialog box.
  3. Select the bibliography to which you wish to save the citation. As soon as you do this, the record is exported.

Note on EndNote Limitations: When you export a citation with a corporate author (not individuals with first and last names), you must correct an error that EndNote makes in the citation record. It imports the corporate author with the comma in the wrong place.
