Clicking on the Export button will begin the process for exporting your list.

On the right hand side of each resource and group/folder, checkboxes will be added to allow the deselection or selection of resources to include in the export.

By default, all resources are selected for export. By clicking on the resources/checkboxes, you will be able to deselect resources individually or by group/folder.

Once you have selected the resources you want to export, click on the 'File Format' dropdown. This will provide two export options: RIS Export and Plain text Export.

  • RIS Export: This option exports the selected resources in the list into RIS file format, which is great for importing into your preferred citation application (such as Zotero, Endnote) and to cite in your assignments.
  • Plain text export: This option exports the selected resources into a text document, in the citation style selected for the list. In the export, the folder/group names will be included, for easy viewing and personal notes.

Finally, once you have selected the resources you want to export and the file format of your choice, click on the Export button. The file of your choice will immediately begin downloading to your computer or device.
