What are import filters?
Import filters are used to import search results into EndNote. Hundreds
of filters come shipped with EndNote; new and updated filters are available to download from the EndNote product site. The filters below include some not available from EndNote as well as filters which have been configured specifically for local needs. Occasional updates to filters are announced on the EndNote e-mail list (more details).
Downloading and using filters:
• Click on the appropriate link in the Platform column of the table below.
• Save the file into the Filters folder in your EndNote directory (C:\Program Files folder on a PC; Applications folder in the Hard Drive on a Mac).
• Click on the appropriate Instructions link in the table below to determine how to save your search results so that they will work with the filter.
The following filters are available:
