Exporting to Citation Managers from BrowZine/LibKey | Configuration of LibKey within Citation Managers

Exporting from LibKey or BrowZine to various citation managers

LibKey

The LibKey.io page doesn’t offer a quick export citation feature like BrowZine, but once a full text format option is selected (ex. ‘Article Link’ or ‘Download PDF’) you can often use the browser plugin for your citation manager to capture the metadata of the article page you’re viewing.

Zotero plugin: Zotero Connector

Mendeley plugin: Mendeley Web Importer

RefWorks: RefWorks bookmarklet

EndNote: EndNote Click

Citavi: Citavi Picker

Tip: Once added to your library, you can manually modify the URL field of the record details so the https://libkey.io/libraries/{Library_ID}/{article_doi} appears, if desired, as a way to easily access the article again.

Please consult your style guide when exporting and formatting citations.

BrowZine

Click to expand for more details.

Zotero

 Zotero and BrowZine Web's export citation feature

One of the advantages of using BrowZine’s Export Citation feature is that no additional proxy configuration is required in Zotero because a BrowZine URL is included with the article’s citation details. The BrowZine URL will inherit any authentication settings that we have on file (ex. EZProxy, OpenAthens URL, IP/VPN authentication only, and more) for the institution. That means that if a user exports a citation from BrowZine into their Zotero library and they want to revisit the article later, they can double-click on the article title from their Zotero Web or Zotero Desktop app library and quickly connect to it in their organization’s library collections and *login with their institutional credentials if needed.

Note: Open access items don’t require a login and will connect directly.

If you expand the “Info” panel for the selected title in your Zotero library to view and/or edit the citation details, the BrowZine URL may look like this:

https://browzine.com/articles/########

Pro-tip: If you need to find the article through a different institution, open the BrowZine article link in a private or incognito browser window. That will give you a chance to choose a new institution/library.

  • Use the “Search” option to browse for the RIS file or use the text file drag and drop options as desired. A message will appear to confirm the import when successful.

Configuration: Using LibKey as a link resolver in citation managers or to retrieve PDFs

Although LibKey is used as a link resolver in many popular databases and sites, it is not able to capture PDFs using a citation manager’s ‘find full text’ or ‘get PDF’ features. Manually attaching PDF files would be needed.

So, adding:
https://libkey.io/libraries/{LibraryID}/openurl

to an openURL field is not generally going to resolve the URLs of items in your citation managers library.*

*Note: Zotero users with VPN/IP-only authentication may have a different experience while connected to their institutional network. More information below.

 Zotero

Q: How to PDFs attach to items in the Zotero library?

A: If the PDF is already downloaded, you can manually “Add Attachment” to any item in your Zotero library. Otherwise, Zotero offers a “Find Available PDF” option that will look for a PDF file to download. How this functions will depend on your connection.

  • Zotero will load the page associated with the item’s DOI or URL and try to find a PDF to download before looking for OA copies. This will work if you have direct or VPN-based access to the PDF. If you use a web-based proxy, only open-access PDFs will be automatically retrieved using this new functionality, but you can continue to save items with gated PDFs from the browser using the Zotero Connector.

Q: Does the proxy need to be configured in the Zotero settings to access BrowZine or LibKey resources?

A: No; BrowZine and LibKey links should not be proxied.

Q: Can LibKey be added as a link resolver in Zotero to automatically retrieve PDFs?

A: Although LibKey is used as a link resolver in many popular databases and sites, it's not designed to function in Zotero (app or plugin) as a way to capture PDFs. Zotero will often try to act as a PDF resolver to grab an available PDF right away, but our services point to resources in a different way. Generally speaking, you won’t be able to use https://libkey.io/libraries/{libraryID}/openurl as a custom link resolver if your library uses EZProxy, OpenAthens, or other web-based remote authentication service that requires a login to provide access. For IP-based or VPN users, it might work because there’s no additional login input required.

 Mendeley

Q: How to PDFs attach to items in the Mendeley library?

A: If the PDF is already downloaded, you can manually “Add Files” to any item in your Mendeley library. Otherwise, the Mendeley Web Importer browser add-on will try to offer a PDF when you’re viewing the article. A “View PDF” option will appear (either in the Web Importer’s window or as a floating browser extension) along with an “+ Add to Library” button if one is available.

Q: Does the proxy need to be configured in the Mendeley settings to access BrowZine or LibKey resources?

A: No, Mendeley doesn’t offer this option and BrowZine and LibKey links should not be proxied.

Q: Can LibKey be added as a link resolver in Mendeley to automatically retrieve PDFs?

A: No, there’s no option in Mendeley to configure this.

 RefWorks

The LibKey.io interstitial page doesn’t offer a quick export citation feature like BrowZine, but once a full text format option is selected (ex. ‘Article Link’ or ‘Download PDF’) you can use the RefWorks bookmarklet to capture the metadata of the source page.

Tip: Once added to your RefWorks library, you can manually modify the URL field of the record details so the https://libkey.io/libraries/{Library_ID}/{article_doi} appears, if desired, as a way to easily access the article again.

Please consult your style guide when exporting and formatting citations.

 EndNote

Q: Does the proxy need to be configured in the EndNote settings to access BrowZine or LibKey resources?

A: No; BrowZine and LibKey links should not be proxied.

Q: Can LibKey be added as a link resolver in EndNote’s “Find Full Text” feature to automatically retrieve PDFs? What if I enter https://libkey.io/libraries/{LibraryID}/openurl into the OpenURL Path?

A: Although LibKey is used as a link resolver in many popular databases and sites, it's not able to capture PDFs using EndNote’s full text feature. Manually attaching PDF files would be needed.

In the Find Full Text settings, consider enabling the following options to quickly grab PDFs that are openly available:

EndNote desktop application with the Find Full TExt menu selected to display options for DOI and PubMed links with auto harvesting enabled
 Citavi

Q: In BrowZine when I click the citation export button there are several options. Do I only export the Citavi RIS? Or can I use some of these other options too?

A: While the Citavi RIS export is recommended, Citavi can import a variety of other formats too. So if you exported a file through one of the other RIS options or even for other citation managers, Citavi has other format filters available for selection if needed.

Tip: Once added to your Citavi library project, you can add another URL to a selected reference by selecting the entry, click the paperclip icon for “Attachments/URLs” and add the http://LibKey.io URL as an online address. Or you can manually modify the online address field of the record details so the https://libkey.io/libraries/{Library_ID}/{article_doi} appears, if desired, as a way to easily access the article again.

Please consult your style guide when exporting and formatting citations.
