After generating a file with RIS-formatted references (see "FAQ - Importing of Reports - What reference formats are supported by RevBase for the import?" below) click "Import reports"in the left menu and click the Choose File button.



Search for the file on your local drive.



Select a source of your references from the "Source" drop-down menu (usually a bibliographic database such as Medline).



Press the Submit button to upload your file. Afterwards a list of the uploaded references will be shown.

So far, RevBase only supports import files generated by reference management programs namely EndNote or Reference Manager. Possible formats are:

• RevBase Import format for EndNote. The EndNote Output Style to generate a respective file is available here: revbase-import 
  Save this file in the Style folder of your EndNote installation (usually a subfolder of the EndNote program folder e.g. C:/program files/EndNote ??/Styles)
  
• RIS format (Wikipedia, format specifications) (only for EndNote X1 and Reference Manager 11)

i.e. you have to format all references in one of these formats before importing them.

A guide on how to generate a file with specifically formatted references in EndNote is provided here (RIS-formatted file as an example): risinendnote 

A guide on how to generate a file with RIS-formatted references in Reference Manager is provided here: risinrefman 

In general, there is no limit for the number of references. If you have a large number of references it is recommended that you split the files containing references so that each file contains 5-10,000 references.

In general if a reference was processed in a later step you will not be able to delete it.
You can delete a reference in two ways.
