Exporting Or Saving Search Profile Results

Since RefAware does not store your actual search results, you may wish to export or save references of interest for use with other software programs.

 

RefAware provides you with two options for saving references:

 

 

Note:  References must be exported or saved from each search profile individually.  You cannot combine results from different search profiles for exporting or saving.

 

To Export Directly to a RefWorks Account:

1.  Select the search profile you wish to export references from.

2.  Mark the references for export by clicking on the appropriate checkboxes, Select Page or Select All.  Selections are carried over from page to page.

3.  Click on the Export Selected to RefWorks icon .

 

4.  If you have included your RefWorks login information in your Preferences, your references will be automatically exported and those references will have an Export to RefWorks icon   displayed with the reference in RefAware, indicated it has been exported.  Otherwise you will be prompted to log in to your RefWorks account.

 

Note: There is an export limit of 500 references per export.

 

To Save Records to a Text File:
