Save References

1. To export references from an external database and import them into Zotero, first download a file with the exported references from the source database (e.g., PubMed).
2. When selecting an export format or file type from the source database, choose either RIS, RefMan, Zotero or XML. 
3. Save and download the file to your computer.
4. Open the recently downloaded file by double clicking on it.
5. Selected references from the database should populate automatically into Zotero. You may get prompted to select a folder.

Note: When done, you may safely delete the earlier downloaded file.
