Import 18: Can I Direct Export from websites to EndNote Web?

Answer: Beginning with Endnote Web 2.3, it is possible to Direct Export from certain websites to EndNote Web in Firefox and Internet Explorer.



Note: other web browers, like Safari, Chrome and Opera do not support direct export at this time.



Firefox
To turn the feature on, you would need to install the latest EndNote Web Firefox installer. Use the following steps:
  1. Making sure you are logged into the EndNote Web site in a Web browser, click the Download Installers link at the bottom of any page.
  2. Under 'Firefox Extension,' click the Download Windows/Macintosh link. Note: If Firefox prevents the download, click Edit Options... to add http://myendnoteweb.com as a trusted source.
  3. Click the Install Now button when prompted to confirm software installation. Note: If Firefox prevents the download, click Edit Options... to add http://myendnoteweb.com as a trusted source.
  4. If prompted to confirm the publisher, select Run. This will launch the installation program.
  5. If prompted, select whether or not you would like EndNote Web to import direct export files from data provider web sites. Do not select EndNote Web if you wish to continue exporting references directly to EndNote, Reference Manager, or ProCite.
  6. Click the Restart Firefox button.


After restarting Firefox, you can turn Direct export on and off by going to Tools, Add-ons, selecting EndNote Web and choosing "Options". You can check (or uncheck) a box here that reads "Redirect the following MIME types for direct export files to open with EndNote Web:" .ciw .ris .ovd .enw. [OK].
