Citavi can import libraries from Endnote version 8 and later. Some reference types (for example, Hearing) are not available in Citavi. Any references without a corresponding reference type will be be given the Unknown reference type.
Importing an EndNote Library
1.In the Reference Editor, on the File menu, click Import.
2.Select Another reference management program and click Next.
3.Click Add filter, select EndNote and then click Add.
4.Select EndNote and click Next.
5.Click Browse and select the file you want to import, then click Next.
6.In the Import window that appears, you can choose which references you want to import. To import all the references, click Add to project. To add specific references only, first select the corresponding checkboxes and then click Add to project.
7.Select any appropriate import options and click OK to complete the import.
Note: In rare cases, the import will either not complete or after the import Citavi will show that the EndNote library did not contain any data. To import the database, start EndNote, but do not open any library. Then, on the Tools menu, click Recover Library. Select the EndNote library and click Open. EndNote repairs the library and saves it with a new name. Import this file into Citavi following the steps above.
