EBSCOhost databases

From the search results list, select one or more items and icons will appear above the list so that you can download results, share results, and copy or export citations.

• Download: Save a list of selected results to your device in one of the following formats: PDF, MSWORD, CSV, BIBTEX, MARC21, XML.
• Share: Send a list of selected results to Google Drive or OneDrive, or select the Email tab to send results to one or more email addresses.
• Cite: You have two citation options:
  • Copy citation:
    • Select a citation style from the drop-down menu.
    • Select Copy all to clipboard.
    • Paste the citations wherever you need them, for example into a PowerPoint slide.
  • Export citation: 
    • Export a file of citations for import into reference management software, or similar.
    • Options include Export in RIS format (e.g. for EndNote, Zotero, Mendeley, etc.) or Export to EndNote Web.

You can also download results, or export citations, from the following areas of My dashboard:

• Projects (you need to create or sign in to a MyEBSCO account to access Projects); 
• Saved (from the Records tab); or
• Recent activity (from the Viewed Records tab).

Note: ESBCOhost automatically removes duplicate results when you search more than one database at a time, or when you export results to a RIS file. As a result, you may see fewer total results if you cross-search databases than if you search the same databases individually. You may also notice that the number of results exported in a RIS file is lower than the total number originally retrieved.

If you would like to export more than 50 records at once:

• Sign into your personal MyEBSCO account. 
• Select one or more items from the search results list and icons will appear above the list.
• Select the small down arrow to the left of the icons to view the selection menu.
• Choose the option Export results (Up to 25,000). 
• Enter your e-mail address and (optionally) the e-mail addresses of anyone else you would like to share the results with.
• Select the export format. Options are: CSV, XML, MARC21, BIBTEX, or RIS.
• Select the Send button.

EBSCO will then e-mail you a link to download an export file. The link will be available for download for 7 days.

You can use the Export results (Up to 25,000) option twenty times within a 24 hour period.

If you previously had a personal MyEBSCO account in the classic EBSCOhost platform, make sure to use the same account credentials to sign into MyEBSCO in the new platform.

What transfers automatically:

Permanent saved searches and articles stored in the My Folders area will transfer to the new user interface automatically. These searches and articles will be available in the My dashboard area in the new interface.

What does not transfer automatically:

1. Content in the following sub-folders within the My Folders area will not have been migrated.

• Persistent Link to Searches
• Search Alerts
• Journal Alerts

Action required: If you still have access to the classic EBSCOhost interface, save details of any searches that will not transfer. You can set up equivalent search alerts and journal alerts in the new interface. You can run and save searches in the new interface.

2. Content in the My Custom and Shared By areas will not have been migrated.

Action required: If you had articles saved in Custom Folders in the classic interface:

• Log into the new interface and download this content as it will not have been transferred automatically.
• You will have until 31st December 2025 to download the content from your Custom Folders. 
• Alternatively, you can copy these articles from Custom Folders into the Articles section of the standard My Folders area in EBSCOhost classic so that they will migrate.
