SAVING OR DOWNLOADING CITATIONS

Saving citations to a disk is useful if you want to print later or from another location, or if you have identified an especially large number of relevant citations to be saved.

Using the "save" function will also allow you to incorporate the citations into a word processing, bibliographic management, or other software program. In this case, be sure to save your citations as a "text" or .txt file.
