Instructions for exporting citations from ArtStor to EndNote


The first time you use ArtStor, you will probably need to install a special filter before you can export citations to EndNote. Instructions follow below in two stages, first for getting and installing the filter, and second for exporting citations.

Instructions for Installing the Filter


  1. Before you begin, it will be useful to download and install the ArtStor filter if you haven't already. (You can come back to this step later, though, if you prefer). Get the filter here.
  2. In the pop-up Opening Artstor.enf box, make sure the Open with box is set to EndNote X6 (as below) then click OK.

    3. artstor1b

  3. The Artstor filter will open in EndNote. From the main EndNote menu, click File then Save as.

    4. artstor2b

  4. In the Save as box, remove the word Copy, then click Save.


    5. artstor3b

Instructions for Exporting Citations

    2. artstor4b


  2. Click Save citations for selected images.

    3. artstor6b


  3. Again from the Tools menu, click View and export citations.

    4. artstor6b


  4. In the Export Options box, click Directly export citations into Endnote, ProCite, or Reference Manager, then click Go.

    5. artstor7b


  5. From the pop-up Choose An Import Filter box, select ARTstor then click Choose. The export should complete automatically from this point.

    6. artstor8b


    Some browsers may ask you to choose a helper application.

    - Check Open with then click Browse.

    - This will open a second box (the Choose Helper Application box). Select EndNote.

    - Click OK to both boxes when finished.

    - You can also check Do this automatically for files like this from now on, to save time in the future.

    If citations fail to export, also check for pop-up blockers (which may appear as a banner notice along the top or bottom of your screen). Citation also will not export if you have a reference open in EndNote. (To be sure you do not have a reference open, in EndNote, click on All References.)
