How can I transfer records from Refworks to EndNote?

Database Conversion:

In Refworks:

1. Go to RefWorks via the browser.
2. Log in with your RefWorks account.
3. Select 'All References' or a 'Folder' or select some records within 'All References' or a 'Folder' you wish to export.
   
   
   
    
4. Click menu 'Share > Export'.
   
   
   
    
5. Choose which references need to be exported (e.g. All in List) and in which (tagged) format.
   
   Export References:
   
   From
   - All references in ‘All References’ (total number)
   
   or if references where selected upfrontin ‘All References’ or in a folder
   
   - 'Selected references' in 'Folder name' en ‘Selected references 'in ‘All References’.
   
   Format 
   - RIS Format (EndNote, EndNote Web/Online, Reference Manager, ProCite)
   
   ID Output
   RefWorks default
   or
   AuthorYearTitle
   or
   Ref ID Only
   
   To label the exported references with something meaningful, ‘RefWorks default’ or ‘AthorYearTitle’ would be the best option here.
   
   If you want to retain the structure of the old library, you can perform this export and import routine per Folder (Map), whereby you can include the name of a folder or group in the naming of the export file. For example, save all publications of the year of a hospital in the Folders 'STZ ZKH 2022' and 'STZ ZKH 2023' (e.g. called STZ-ZKH) as 'STZ-ZKH-2022.ris' or 'STZ-ZKH-2023.ris' etc. Then, after creating identical groups in EndNote, the data can be imported back into the correct folder and the references can be provided with corresponding keywords or tags (STZ-ZKH-2022 and/or STZ-ZKH-2023. All this so that the correct selections can be made in the future if necessary.
   
    
6. Click the 'Export' button.
7. Save your references to a text file (for example, 'export.ris') by selecting the 'Save File' option.

You will end up with a file titled 'export.ris'  (usually in the Downloads folder).

In EndNote:

1. Click the File menu > New to create a new library.
2. Click on the File menu > Import > File.
3. Click Choose and browse to the 'export.ris' file you saved and click Open.
4. Change the Import option to Reference Manager (RIS).
5. Click Import.

If you create a group or a smart group first and select the group, you may also import the exported RIS formatted file to the specific selected folder.

This will import your Refworks records from your Refworks collection into this new EndNote library.
