EndNote has the ability to sync or share your references between the computer with the EndNote software (version x or higher) with EndNote Web. EndNote Web has the ability to allow you to share your references with others -- via e-mail accounts with either the ability to read or read write. In the read only mode, invited users (by their e-mail address) can view the shared groups (libraries) references.
I received the following query -- Dr. is sharing resources via EndNote Web. Is there a way to copy / transfer those shared refs down to my EndNote client. I can do that with the ones called “my references” but don’t see a way to do it with shared ones.
There are two ways to do this --
1. In endnote web you can mark the shared references and then copy them (add to group) into a group (library) within your endnote web account. You may want to create a new group before moving.
2. You can export the shared references down to your computer in either the ris format or the endnote library format and then manually import them into your endnote library (if you use the ris format – import using the ris filter & if you export with the endnote library filter – use the endnote import not the endnote library import)
My recommendation would be to copy the wanted references from the shared group into your groups and then use the automatic sync feature between EndNote and Endnote web.
If any ones is interested I can make a short video and post.
Thanks -- Stephen
