Summon: Exporting Search Results and Saved Citations
- Product: Summon
Can Citations Be Exported from the Summon Service?
Exporting All Search Results in Summon 2.0
When the Allow Download Search Results option is set to ON (Admin Console > Settings > Search Results), the Export Results option appears above Summon search results, enabling users to send the first 1000 results in a CSV file to a specified email address.
After selecting Export Results, users are prompted for an email address, a message (optional), and reCAPTCHA information before selecting the Send button to complete the export.
If the search results contain more than 1000 results, only the first 1000 results are exported in the email.
Exporting Search Results and Saved Citations in Summon 2.0
The Summon service supports exporting, emailing, and printing citations in the user's Saved Items folder at the top of the Summon results page. Citation management is also available through the Item Preview pane when a user previews an item in the search results set.
Export, email, and print options in the Saved Items folder:
The first drop-down menu (which defaults to As shown on search results) allows users to select from the following citation styles, which are configured on the Settings > Citation Formats page in the Summon Administration Console (see Citation Formats):

The Export To drop-down menu offers the export options listed in the following table. Selecting a citation management tool in the Export drop-down menu automatically triggers the export.
For Mendeley:
-
Users can export citations in Summon as they would in other online environments, but Mendeley users need to have the Mendeley Web Importer bookmark in place.
-
Users' needs can also be met by Summon's .ris and .bib export options.
For other types of exports, see the following table:
Citation Management Tool | What | User Experience |
---|---|---|
RefWorks |
Direct export |
Signed-in users see their exported citations in their Last Imported folder in RefWorks. The Summon to RefWorks export is based on the user's browser cookie for RefWorks. A user not already logged in to RefWorks is prompted to sign in. In the Summon Administration Console, use the Settings > RefWorks page to provide a custom RefWorks Export URL if needed. The default URL is valid for most U.S. clients: http://www.refworks.com/express/ExpressImport.asp
The following URL is valid for most Canadian clients: http://refworks.scholarsportal.info/express/ExpressImport.asp
|
EasyBib |
Direct export |
User is taken to the Import screen in EasyBib. A user that is not already logged in to EasyBib can choose to log in, or import the citation into the temporary project space that EasyBib offers without a login.

EndNote |
.ris file is sent to user's browser |
If the user's browser has EndNote Web enabled, the browser will use it with the .ris file. If the browser instead is set to open .ris files with the EndNote client, the browser will launch the EndNote client. |
BibTex |
.bib file is sent to user's browser |
If the browser has been set up to open .bib files with BibTex, then the browser will launch BibTex. Otherwise the .bib file can be saved and imported into BibTex. |
Citace.com |
Direct export |
Users that are already logged in will see the citations in their citation lists. Otherwise, they will be prompted to log on first. Please note that the "Enable Citace.com export option" must be turned on first. This can be found at the very bottom of the General section of the Summon Administration Console. |
Citavi |
.ris file is sent to user's browser |
If the browser has been set up to open .ris files with Citavi, then the browser will launch Citavi. Otherwise the .ris file can be saved and imported into Citavi. |

.ris file is sent to user's browser |
If the browser has been set up to open .ris files with Zotero, then the browser will launch Zotero. Otherwise the .ris file can be saved and imported into Zotero. |
