The Proquest platform requires the two step Export-Import process. Among the databases on the Proquest Platform are Proquest Research Library, Disserations and Abstracts, etc.
Exporting from Proquest:
- Mark the records you want to put into Endnote (using the checkboxes) and click the quotation mark at the top of the page.
- In the resutling pop up window, at the bottom under "Export to a citation manager or file," choose RIS (works with Endnote, Citavi, etc.)
- In the pop-up window, make sure "output to" has "RIS" selected, determine what content you want exported if the default is not acceptable, click "I'm not a robot," and click Continue.
- You may get an error message saying a pop-up window blocked -- go to the top of the screen and allow Proquest.com to load popups.
- The "ProQuestDocument.ris" file will download.
- Go on to Importing to MyEndnoteWeb
Importing to MyEndnoteWeb:
- Login to EndNoteWeb.
- Click on the Collect tab
- Click on "Import New References"
- Next to File, Click on the "Choose file" button and find the Proquest... file you downloaded (look in F:\My Documents\Downloads)
- Next to Import option, choose Proquest.
- Click Import.
- If you chose a New Group, you'll be prompted to create the group name:
Type in a name for the group and click OK. - Endnote will report back "Numberreferences were imported to "Group Name".
