What is a filter?

     

    Filters allow you to import references from Databases or any text file that includes labels or tags that identify the type of information that appears in the file.

    A filter is selected during the import process to show EndNote exactly how to interpret the information in your data file (the records downloaded from a database). A filter does this by mapping the information in each downloaded reference to the corresponding fields in EndNote.

    Because each database offered by the various information providers has its own way to organize reference data, there needs to be a different filter for each database.

    Many databases can now export references directly to EndNote. In these cases you do not need to download or select a filter. EndNote will automatically select one of the standard filters supplied with the software.

     

    Finding the Correct Filter

    1. Try the UQ Library's EndNote filters (see below). These have been written by Library staff for databases subscribed to by the Library.
    2. Go to the list of filters on the EndNote website.

     

    Information for Macintosh users

     

      If you are using OSX, you should find that the files available for download from this page will be recognised as EndNote filters in your Macintosh version of EndNote.

      If not, or if you are using earlier versions of the Macintosh OS, you can convert the files to Macintosh format. You will find information on how to do this on the Macintosh EndNote page at the University of Maastricht.


    UQ Library Filters

     

    Special Notes

    You must insert the filter files in the correct folder. See our FAQ on folder locations.

    You can download all of these filters as a single zipped archive

    When you open the Filter Manager in EndNote and highlight the required filter, click on the arrows beside More Info (or Show Info in earlier versions) and a text box will open, which allows you to scroll through the information about the filter.
