References:
Instead of manually entry of citations, a number of databases subscribed by the Library support direct export of citations to EndNote (or other reference management tools). This means, when you choose the appropriate export option, the citation of the items you have selected will automatically be imported into the EndNote (or other reference management tools) installed on your computer. Be aware that sometimes IEEE citation format may contain errors (e.g., missing volume number). You will need to double check the format of citations and references.
Here below are some examples of commonly used databases that offer citation direct export. The steps are quite similar, and the main difference is the name of the button to export.
