Universal Quick Start
- Open your reference manager and select the library or collection you want to export.
- Export to BibTeX (.bib or .txt) so CiteGeist can import the metadata.
- Save the export file somewhere easy to find (Downloads or Desktop).
- In CiteGeist, choose Import, upload the file, and confirm the results.
Zotero Export
Zotero exports cleanly to BibTeX. Export a full library or just a collection and upload it to CiteGeist for instant deduplication.
Checklist
- Select your library or a collection in Zotero.
- Open File > Export Library (or right-click a collection and choose Export Collection).
- Choose BibTeX as the export format.
- Enable notes and files only if you want them included. You can save the file as .bib or .txt — both work in CiteGeist.
- Upload the exported file into CiteGeist and review the import summary.
EndNote Export
EndNote exports to BibTeX from your library or a selected group. Import the file into CiteGeist to get started.
Checklist
- Open your EndNote library and select All References or a group.
- Go to File > Export and choose the destination folder.
- Set Output Style to BibTeX before exporting.
- Save the file with a .bib or .txt extension — both are accepted by CiteGeist.
- Upload the export file to CiteGeist and verify the imported metadata.
