Transfer of references from PsycINFO

There are several options for transferring references from PsycINFO to EndNote. Which one you choose depends on what is best for your situation.

Direct transfer of references from PsycINFO

This is probably the best way to get references by searching the base’s interface, but not having to deal with intermediate storage with file location and formats.

How to:

  • Search and mark relevant references in PsycINFO

  • Click

  • Fill in the dialog box as shown below

  • Click «Export»

  • The references are now transferred to the active / open EndNote library

  • We strongly recommend to always check that the information is in the correct field in the EndNote library

Search via EndNote

You can search PsycINFO via EndNote. You do not have to decide on storing files with formats etc. The disadvantage of this procedure is that you cannot use the base search interface which provides many good search options. Search via EndNote is recommended if you are looking for specific articles you know in advance.

How to:

  • Make sure you are in «Online Search Mode»
  • Select «Online Search» from the «Tools» menu (or use the button on the toolbar)
  • Select «PsycINFO (OvidSP) – UiB»
  • Fill in the search screen
  • When transferring references from the PsycINFO to EndNote, select the desired references (use «Ctrl» + mouse click to select several at a time)
  • Click the «Copy Selected to» button and choose which library to upload to
  • We strongly recommend to always check that the information is in the correct field in the EndNote library
