This guide will introduce you to CINAHL and get you started with searching.

Exporting Citations from CINAHL

CINAHL offers similar methods for exporting citations that can be found in other research databases. It can be a bit confusing at first. Also, the current limit for bulk export is just 50 citations at one time; we are working to increase this number.

On your page of search results you can export individual citations or do a bulk export. But to start you will need to check a box (or boxes) next to a single citation, or check the box at the top of column. When you do that you will see a new menu open.

The citation link can found by clicking the quote image. From there you will need to click Export citation, and then select how you want to save the citation. Usually, the best option is going to be an RIS file, which is a standard citation format that is understand by most all citation tools such as RefWorks, EndNote, Zotero, and many more.
