How do I import references into RefWorks or EndNote from the Web, PDF, or a Word document?

Answer:

By using the Citation Finder in HubMed, reference lists from PDFs, or Word documents can easily be converted into search results and then imported into bibliographic management software such as RefWorks or EndNote. Note: this tool only works with citations which can be found in PubMed.

Step by Step:

PasteRef

Accept or delete parsed references.
Export selected references using RIS format.
