Managing search results

Managing search results

Search results can be exported from all major databases. Exporting results is a key step in managing your results and preparing for later stages of your research, such as screening and writing.

Choosing a file format

Most databases will let you export results in a variety of file formats. Before selecting a file format consider the following

  • Reference Management – be sure to export your results in a format compatible with your preferred reference manager
  • Next steps in your research – to screen your results in Covidence you will need to import them as either an Endnote XML file or RIS text file

How to export

OVID platform (Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, Emcare). For other databases consult the CIAP User Guides or contact the Library.
