Step 1: Take the right export format in RefWorks.
1.1 In RefWorks, go to the References menu and select export.
1.2 Pick the references you want to export. Verify that the Bibliographic Software button is selected. If it's selected, click on the Export to Text File button.
1.3 See the confirmation that your selected references have been exported.
1.4 Now a new window in your webbrowser wil open that will show your references in a structured format. In case the references don't show right away, click the "Download it" link.
1.5 The last step is to save the references as a text file to a location on your desktop. To do this select "Save As" from the File Menu. Make sure that your remember where you saved it, because you need to look up this location for importing into EndNote.
1.6 Now we can go to EndNote to import the file that we just saved from RefWorks.
2. Choose the right import filter in EndNote.
2.1 Open EndNote, and open an existing library or create a new library.
2.2 From the File menu in EndNote, choose Import.
2.3 From the pop-up window click the "Choose File" button and locate the file we saved from RefWorks.
2.4 From the "Import Option" list, select the import option "Reference Manager (RIS)". You don't need to adjust the settings for Duplicates or Text Translation unless your Operating System is using a language setting other than English.
2.5 When you're done, click the "Import" button. EndNote now presents the imported references in your library window. You can view all references in a library by clicking "All References" on the left side of the screen.
Now you know how to easily import references into EndNote that were saved from RefWorks. This gives you the possibility to collaborate with your colleagues even if they don't use the same Referencing Software.
