Set Import Option to "Reference Manager (RIS)" and click Import. In EndNote click "File" and then "Import." Click the "Choose File" button and select the file you just exported from Zotero. To save your Zotero library for importing into EndNote, click the Zotero button that looks like a gear and choose "Export Library." Choose RIS as the file type and pick a filename.
(However, PDFs and other attachments do not export between programs.) Both programs can read and write a standard citation file format called RIS, which enables citations to be converted across programs. The only negative is that it's not set up to work with Word for Mac 2010 yet but I'm sure it will be soon, so I'm going back to Word for Mac 2008 for a bit til they sort that.It's easy to use EndNote and Zotero together and take advantage of the best features of each, or to share Zotero libraries with colleagues using EndNote. Note-taking is good in the program too - you get a fully editable window and can write one long note (I've certainly not hit a limit yet) or any number of separate notes attached to the same article/book.ĭoing a endnote like Cite as You Write is also well set up in Zotero - and there's a useful forum with what looks like a very personalised service for any trouble-shooting. In terms of finding stuff, you can tag each article/ book with a series of tags and it has a powerful search tool too. That's the other thing I like about it - it's like having another back up as you have an online account at the zotero web site. You can use it in offline mode too but of course it won't sync to the zotero site during that time. and can link to existing pdfs you have too. You can import directly from most electronic journals and JStor etc. Zotero is a Firefox extension, so if you're an Internet Explorer type then it's not for you! It's very easy to download and, of course, free! It sits as part of your web browser (sits in the bottom right hand corner of your web browser screen and you get full screen when you click on it. I'm really liking Zotero at the moment, Cate.
