Most library databases provide options to export citation information to automatically create references in EndNote. Look for terms such as Export, Direct export, Export to reference manager, Send to Citation Manager, Export to RIS or similar terms. Check the Help menu in the database if required.
Direct Export allows search results from databases to be exported directly to an EndNote library. The process is similar in most databases, but different terms may be used including direct export, export directly to EndNote and export to reference manager.
Depending on your browser, the exported file may open automatically in your EndNote Library, or it may sit in the Downloads folder. Double-clicking the file will import the references into your library.
Search results from Google Scholar can be exported to EndNote. To access the export option the settings need to be changed.

Create a reference from previously saved PDF
EndNote can create new references from PDF files which have a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). EndNote completes the required fields and attaches the PDF file to the reference.
If the PDF does not include a DOI, EndNote will create a record, attach the PDF and include just the file name in the Title field. Edit these incomplete records by adding details for author, title of article, publication details etc to create a full reference.
Attaching PDFs to existing references
OR
Open File Explorer (PC) or Finder (Mac), and drag and drop the required PDF onto the relevant reference in the Library
There are two steps for EndNote to look for the full-text PDFs in an EndNote library. EndNote only finds a small number of PDFs using this method. It is often better to find the PDFs using the library databases, save the files to your computer and then attach to the corresponding reference/record in the EndNote library.
Step 1: Setting up
Go to Edit > Preferences on Windows, EndNote > Settings on Mac
Step 2: Finding Full Text for a journal reference
EndNote attaches the full text articles to the relevant records. If EndNote cannot download the PDF article, it may provide a URL so you can retrieve the article yourself.
