How to export your papers (BibTeX, RIS, CSV)

Export papers from your Library as BibTeX, RIS or CSV to use in Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote and other reference managers.

Written by Nathan

When you're ready to write up, you can export your papers from ResearchRabbit and bring them into your reference manager, so you can cite them in your writing. 🐰

How to export papers

  1. Go to your Library and open the collection you want.

  2. Select the papers you want, or click the Select all icon.

  3. Choose the Export option.

  4. Choose BibTeX, RIS or CSV.

  5. Click Export.

💡 Tip: you can include papers from more than one collection in the same export.

Which format should I choose?

  • BibTeX (.bib): works with most reference managers, including Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote and Paperpile, and with LaTeX.

  • RIS (.ris): another widely supported format for reference managers.

  • CSV (.csv): a spreadsheet, useful if you want to sort, filter or share your list in Excel or Google Sheets.

Using Zotero?

With ResearchRabbit+, you can connect your Zotero collections directly instead of exporting and importing files. See How do I sync ResearchRabbit with Zotero?

Common questions

Can I export a single paper?

Yes. Open the paper, click the ⋮ menu and choose Export. If you just need its citation, choose Cite instead.
