Exporting Transaction Citation Information

Overview

Researchers can export citation information from requests in their Aeon account to an RIS file using the Export Citation command. This feature allows researchers to easily add citation information to their bibliographic management tools (e.g., EndNote, RefWorks, Mendeley, etc.) via the RIS download file.

Exporting Citation Information From Request Lists

To export citation information to an RIS file directly from a list of requests on the Aeon web interface:

1. Click the Actions dropdown menu next to a request in the list.
2. Click the Export Citation option.
3. The citation information is saved to a Request[TN].ris file where [TN] is the transaction number for the request (e.g., Request3.ris).

Exporting Citation Information From the Transaction Information Page

To export citation information to an RIS file from the detailed transaction information page for a request:

1. Click the Title of a request in a request list on the Aeon web interface to access the transaction information page for that request.
2. Click the Export Citation option.
3. The citation information is saved to a Request[TN].ris file where [TN] is the transaction number for the request (e.g., Request3.ris).

About RIS Files

The "RIS" format is a format for information providers who deliver bibliographic information to customers on the web. Examples of such providers include organizations such as Google Scholar®, Web of Knowledge®, Ovid®, Science Direct, and OCLC®. Typically, providers maintain websites that allow a user to search a database of bibliographic references and obtain lists of matching references that they can view or save in varying formats.
