The document provides instructions for exporting references from EBSCOhost and importing them into EndNote Basic. It explains that EndNote Basic is a free online reference management tool supported by the library. To export from EBSCOhost, users select references, export them in RIS format, and save the file. They then import the RIS file into EndNote Basic by browsing to the file, setting the import option to citation, and adding the references to a group.

Users can create an account by signing up through Web of Science –
this provides additional citation styles and attachment storage
We recommend using a personal email address to register, so that

There is also an optional “Cite While You Write” plug-in for Microsoft
