EndNote permits exporting citations from designated collections for use in other applications. This process is achievable via the software's export functionality, which supports several common bibliographic formats. Prior to exporting, ensure the desired collection is selected within your EndNote library. Navigate to File > Export, or right-click the collection name and select Export. Specify an output filename and destination folder. Critical choices include selecting the appropriate export format - typically XML or plain text - and determining whether to export the entire group or only references displayed after filtering. Verify the output file contains all expected references. This exported data facilitates sharing reference subsets with collaborators or generating bibliographies beyond EndNote. Typical applications involve importing the XML file into another reference manager or using the plain text list to incorporate citations into manuscripts or grant applications requiring external bibliographic data, thereby enhancing research workflow efficiency.
