Have a list of citations copied from a document (like Word or a webpage)? You can use Vercel to convert that list into a format compatible with EndNote.

Follow the steps below to create a file you can import directly into your EndNote library.

Note: This method assumes all entries are journal articles. If your list includes other source types (e.g., websites, books), you’ll need to manually enter or edit those in EndNote after import.

Steps:

1. Open the Citation Finder tool (linked above).
2. Prepare your citation list: Make sure each reference is on its own line.
3. Copy and paste your citation list into the Enter citations box.
4. Select the output format: Choose RIS (EndNote, etc.).
5. Click the Search box
6. Review the matches:
   • The highlighted result is the tool’s best guess.
   • If it’s incorrect, select a different match or deselect it entirely.
7. Download the results: The file will be named citations.ris
8. Import the RIS file into EndNote.
9. Review and edit your entries in EndNote:
   • Pay special attention to non-journal items like books, reports, and websites, which may need manual corrections.
