EndNote Filters
|
The EndNote program can use import definition files or "filters" that allow you to import references from a variety of sources such as online databases. A filter is selected during the import process to show EndNote exactly how to interpret the information in your data file (the records downloaded or saved from an online database). A filter does this by mapping the information in each downloaded reference to the corresponding fields in EndNote.
