Using the Papers desktop, go to the Add+ menu at the top of the library and choose the dropdown option for Mendeley. Mendeleyįirst, log into your Mendeley account. If you have multiple Zotero databases (uncommon), you have the option of using the browse option to select the correct database.īy default, we will import into your personal library (“My Papers”), but you can use the drop-down to import into an existing shared library if you’d prefer (even to a specific list too). We will automatically locate the Zotero database on your local drive. Using the Papers desktop, go to the Add+ menu at the top of the library and choose the dropdown option for Zotero library. Before transfer, ensure you have all of your papers downloaded locally to ensure they are visible for ReadCube Papers to transfer to your new library. TIP: For the most seamless library transfer, please be on the same computer as you have your other reference manager. bib export file and drag it into ReadCube Papers app. Change the extension of the file name to be. Change "Output style" to BibTex (.bib) export. If you are unable to download the desktop and would like to import via the web app, open EndNote and in the top menu select "File" and then "Export". Use our Endnote Importer for the ReadCube Papers desktop app. Has anyone else had luck with this sort of thing? Does Endnote-to-Endnote XML transfer even work properly? I'd try myself but I'm sick of the sight of it.You can import existing libraries from other reference managers with a few simple steps.Ĭheck our library transfer guide here. But it looks like this is still not possible with the current Endnote XML implementation in Zotero given that Endnote sucks so very very much. The goal was a regular Endnote library (complete with PDFs) of a large publications audit we did, to send to my boss for her to deal with and store etc where she needs it. I went so far as to export what I needed in RDF, start a whole new Zotero database *inside* the Endnote library's data folder and export-import in XML from that, but of course the links remained absolute to that location and with Endnote's refusal to relativise the links manually it's stuck where it is. Endnote's 'compressed libraries' won't carry them along either because (stupidly) it's just a compressed version of the library + whatever is in its data folder. Thanks, that actually works locally but of course it creates absolute references to the PDFs in my Zotero library, and for whatever reason Endnote won't convert them into relative ones (I just get "no links converted" when I try), or in any other way import or copy them as relative or local to itself.
