There are two major steps to transferring records from the PubMed database into your RefWorks database. The first one is to perform
your search and download the articles of interest into a specially formatted text file. The second step is to import the records
contained in that text file into your RefWorks database, using the NLM PubMed filter.
STEP 1: Downloading from PubMed
- Perform your search in
PubMed
- In the Display pull-down menu, select MEDLINE.
- PubMed should now be showing your articles in a "tagged" format. RefWorks needs to have the articles
in this format so it can tell the difference between different parts of the article's record.
- Now you are ready to save your articles. In the Send To pull-down menu, select File.
- You will now be prompted to save the file to your computer. Be sure to save it as a text file (file
extension .txt), and try to put it somewhere where you'll be able to find it, like on your desktop.
STEP 2: Importing into RefWorks
- Go to your RefWorks database.
- Click on the References menu and select Import. The import screen will appear.
- From the Import Filter/Data Source list, select NLM PubMed (National Library of Medicine).
- Browse to find the text file you saved to your computer.
Click on Import.
- Your references should appear in the Last Imported Folder.
