Importing Citations from Scopus

​​​​​​In Scopus, to save an article you want,

  • click the box in front of the citation. You can export this single citation if you'd like, or you can check the box in front of additional articles. 
  • When you have selected the articles you want:
    • Click the word Export
    • Select Zotero(RIS) format
    • on the next page, select the information you want included (note: highly recommended that you select "Abstract and Keywords")
    • Click Export and a file will be created and automatically sent to your Downloads folder.
  • If you prefer to send yourself citations in bulk, click off the box and then click the three dots. Next select "Save to List." They will be saved in your List until you log out. To access your List, click on your login profile (often your initials). 
    • go into your list, click the All button then RIS Export. You will be a message asking if these citations should be automatically imported into Zotero. Select Yes.

Importing Citations Into Zotero

  • In Zotero, create a Collection for the project (if you haven’t already). Click on that collection.
  •  click the image of a file with a plus sign and choose "Add File"

 

  • Select the file you want. If you just downloaded a file from a database, it should be in your Downloads folder.
  • IMPORTANT: This imports an image of a file into folder into your collection. Click (or double-click) the image of the file folder and import its contents.  This might create a new folder; if so, rename the folder.
