Step # 12
If your references do not export directly, a pop-up box for "Choose Destination" will appear. In that case, instead of choosing Open with, select Save file and click OK. The reference file will probably be saved in your computer's Downloads folder.
Open a new tab in your browser and click on the EndNote button on the top left side of the screen to log in to your EndNote Basic account.
Select the Collect tab and click on Import References. Browse and select the reference file you saved earlier (probably in your Downloads folder).
Select SpringerLink as your Import Option. If SpringerLink does not appear in your drop-down box, you may need to click on Select Favorites and add it to your Favorites list first. Select a new group (or an existing group) for these references, enter a New Group name, click OK and click Import.
Your references should be saved to the specified group.
