If you use a filter to download records from PubMed, your EndNote references do not contain any links to take you to the full text of the articles. Our FAQ on PubMed and EndNote suggests a few ways of dealing with this problem.

A revised EndNote filter for the Pubmed database is now available for download from our website.

Several people had asked me if it was possible to download the full journal title from Pubmed, in addition to the standard abbreviated journal title. The new filter will import the full journal title into the Alternate Journal field in EndNote.

Bear in mind that many Pubmed records do not include the full journal title. Where the full journal title is available, it is extracted from the National Library of Medicine catalogue and is not always in a format that would be used in normal bibliographic citation.

The revised filter will also import the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) into the URL field.

Informit produce a large number of databases containing references on Australian topics.

These databases now support direct export of references to EndNote. The procedures are quite simple and are explained in our FAQ.

As explained in that FAQ, the references sometimes do not import very accurately into EndNote. For this reason, we still maintain filters for some of the more important Informit databases.

However our testing suggests that direct export works fairly well with the following databases:

APAIS (APA-Fulltext)
Australasian Medical Index (Meditext)
Australian Education Index (A+ Education)
Australian Natural Resources Index

Direct export is certainly a much easier way of getting references into your EndNote library. But remember: the references may require quite a bit of editing after import.
