Help: Output Formats
You can save or view abstracts to your local computer using the "Download abstract" option on each abstract page. Select your preferred output format from the drop down menu and press the "Download" button. Please note that your computer will either "View" or "Save" depending on how your browser is set up. The following output formats are available:
- CSV

- HTML
- Hypertext Markup Language is used throughout the World Wide Web and is normally viewed automatically. To save the abstract in HTML select "File" and "Save as" within your browser.
- Plain Text

Notes on usage with bibliographic software
The following notes are designed to help you to load the information you download from our Electronic Journals service into bibliographic software packages.
BibTeX
Add the downloaded "bib" file to your BibTeX database. BibTeX can then extract a "bbl" file for articles cited in a LaTeX document containing a "\bibliography" command. When LaTeX is then rerun twice the "bbl" file is used to generate the reference list. Note: abstracts containing maths and special characters may need some editing.
EndNote (PBS/DOS/Windows)

Select "import" from the file menu and then "choose file" to locate and open the file you want to import.
