Exporting references

How to export references to reference management programs from Helka?

• Export to the browser version of EndNote reference management program by clicking the name of the program ("EndNote").
• To other programs (like Zotero or desktop version of EndNote) - choose "Export RIS" or "Export BibTEX". RIS and BibTex are text files made from references. The text files are opened or stored on a machine and then imported into a reference management program.

   

You can also use Helka’s own citation function for copying the reference information in a certain citation style. Click "CITATION", choose citation style and copy citation to clipboard.Note that this is a quick tool with only a few citation styles available. Using a reference management program offers more citation styles and many other options to manage your references.

Read more information on reference management programs in library's referent management guide.

Creating links

You can also get a permanent link to a reference in Helka. Choose “PERMALINK” and copy the link to clipboard. This is an easy way for instance for a teacher to add a link to course material in Moodle area.

Citations

In some articles you can see lists of references citing the article or references cited by the article. See the icon with red arrows upwards and downwards in reference information. Note that they are not necessarily complete lists of citations! They mainly contain references in that particular database that have referred to the article, not all possible references that have referred to it. The same principle applies to these types of Cited by lists in many scientific databases.
