Instructions for exporting citations from JSTOR databases to EndNote


A sample search using JSTOR gives an overview of how to export to EndNote from either JSTOR or History Cooperative.


  1. Conduct your search.

  2. Check boxes to the left of the articles for which you plan to export citations then click Export from the menu above.

    3. jstor1b

  3. In the next screen, simply click RIS file. The export should continue automatically.

    4. jstor2b



    Some browsers may ask you to choose a helper application.

    - Check Open with then click Browse.

    - This will open a second box (the Choose Helper Application box). Select EndNote.

    - Click OK to both boxes when finished.

    - You can also check Do this automatically for files like this from now on, to save time in the future.

    If citations fail to export, also check for pop-up blockers (which may appear as a banner notice along the top or bottom of your screen). Citation also will not export if you have a reference open in EndNote. (To be sure you do not have a reference open, in EndNote, click on All References.)
