Format guide

EndNote XML

EndNote XML export

EndNote XML is the structured XML format used by EndNote (Clarivate's reference manager) for backups and interchange. Each <record> wraps contributors, titles, dates, and identifiers with explicit semantic tagging, much richer than RIS or BibTeX. Useful when you want to preserve EndNote's full data model (custom fields, attached files, ratings).

How to open a EndNote XML file

EndNote (paid). Zotero and Mendeley import EndNote XML cleanly. Any text editor for inspection.
