Exporting from journals to RefWorks

If you are reading a paper online, many journals will offer you the choice to export the citation of that paper into reference management software.

Nature journals, I discover, export into EndNote as a default (on our network). Here is how to export to RefWorks instead:

Right click on "Export Citation".
Select "Save target as..." and save the file somewhere.
Go to RefWorks
Select References, Import
Select RIS Format as the Import Filter/Data Source and then database "RIS Format".
Browse to the file and select it.
Click Import.


This imports a link to full text (via the DOI) as well.
