• Identify strategies and tools for saving, organizing, and sharing your search results.

There are multiple ways to save your search results in PubMed.

• Underneath the search bar on the results page, you will see different options to save the results as a file, email them to yourself, or store them in various locations including a temporary clipboard.

• You have the option to save all of the results, all of the results on a given page, or a selection of results.

• If you would like to keep track of your results and revisit them later, consider sending them to a citation manager, or creating an NCBI account to store them. 
• When you’re logged in to your NCBI account, select “collections” from the “send to” menu.

• You will be able to access collections at any time from your NCBI dashboard.

Citation managers allow you to import references from different sources into one tool, and also:

• Remove duplicate citations from searches in multiple databases
• Organize citations via tagging and folders
• Share citations with colleagues
• Attach and store PDFs of articles
• Automatically format in-text citations and bibliographies in different styles while you write

This guide includes information and access instructions for popular citation management tools EndNote, RefWorks, and Zotero.
