To export citations from CINAHL or another EBSCOhost database such as Academic Search Premier perform your search and save the references to the folder that is provided for printing/saving/emailing multiple citations.
To add all citations in a search to the folder use the options under the Share menu.
Once viewing citations in the folder either check the checkbox to the left of each citation to select it, or check Select/Deselect All to select all citations in the Folder.
On the next screen make sure the Direct Export in RIS Format (e.g. CITAVI, EasyBib, EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager, Zotero), radio button is selected to send to the desktop version of EndNote (default). If you want to send your citations to EndNote Online select Direct Export to EndNote Web.
Internet browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.) works differently when exporting and downloading. In newer versions of Chrome look in the upper right of the browser window for the Downloads icon.
Other browsers may work differently. Note Apple’s Safari browser may not be compatible with EndNote
To bypass having to click on the downloaded file in the future right click on the downloaded file and select Always open files of this type. Now when exporting citations they directly be exported to EndNote
The citations will be exported into an open EndNote Library, and placed in EndNote’s Imported References group.
