Filters   What are filter files?   Getting filter files not available in EndNote 6     What is a filter file?   Information saved from different databases appear in different formats (see figure 11 below). Hence you will need to use the appropriate filter file in order to import the data correctly into your EndNote library. To choose the correct filter, you will need the name and provider of the database from which you saved your results (eg. Current Contents - OVID). The filters will instruct EndNote to sort the information from the saved file into the appropriate fields eg. Authors into the Author field, Titles into the Title field, etc..           Sites with additional filters University of New South Wales Australian National University Library Macquarie University Library University of Canberra Library University of Technology Library     Getting filter files not available in EndNote 6   If the filter that you require is not available, you can download them from other sites.
