⦁ For most databases, use the direct import = double-click the file downloaded from the database (.ris, .ciw, etc.) to open it in EndNote.
⦁ EndNote is installed with over 300 filters, which can be found under C:\Program Files\Endnote 21\Filters\. If necessary, see other filters provided by EndNote.
⦁ How to install Polytechnique import filters
⦁ The Library has adapted the import filters for a few databases for which direct import did not work well. These filters have been developed only for the main document types (e.g. journal article, conference proceedings) in each database.
⦁ PolyMTL import filters (last updated August 20, 2023):
Attention! Import journal articles and conference papers from databases and not from Sofia!
Follow this procedure to properly import records from the Sofia discovery tool.
For importing references from several bibliographic databases available at the Library, follow these procedures, tested in Mozilla Firefox.
After each import, we strongly recommend that you check the quality of the imported references and make corrections. If you import them from several databases, make sure you eliminate duplicates.
If you would like to keep track from which database the references were imported: Select the imported references. Continue with Tools ➞ Change/Move/Copy Fields... In the Change Fields tab, choose Name of Database from the drop-down list of fields, and then replace the whole field with the name of the database.
