RefWorks supports hundreds of databases provided by numerous data vendors. Import filter development is an ongoing process and new filters are being added continually. For a complete up-to-date list of import filters click here.
If your data vendor is not listed below, check the import filter list from the link above to determine if a filter exists for a particular vendor. Not all data vendors are listed below.
If no filter exists for a particular vendor, we recommend you look for alternative export or save options. Click here for suggestions on alternate saving methods.
If there is an export/save option for EndNote, you can use the Refer Format import filter(see sample below) or for Reference Manager, you can import into RefWorks with the RIS Format import filter (see sample below). If there is an export/save option for Medline (see sample below), you can use NLMPubMedas the import filter.
