Exporting results from the CABI Digital Library

The CABI Digital Library enables you to export up to 100,000 search results as a single operation, in a variety of formats including .RIS, .CSV, Text, bibText, and endNote . In order to be able to export results you must be logged in, and you will be prompted to Login/Register in the course of the export process, if you have not already done so.

To activate the ‘Export Citations’ feature either select individual records or click the ‘Select all’ option on the Search Results screen

It is possible to export just ‘Selected’ results from the current Search Results page you are on, or alternatively ‘All results’ for your search, up to 100,000 records, as a single export operation. Select the export output format from the drop down along with the citation format option.

The Export Citation box provides a preview of the data format and fields which will be exported for each output option for the records you have selected to export.

When you are happy with your export settings, simply click the 'Download citation' arrow in the bottom right corner, to export your results.

Once you have clicked the export arrow you must keep the current browser tab open until your export completes. A notification about this will then appear in the Export Citation dialog box “Your export is currently added to the export queue. Depending on the size of the queue this might take up to 2 hours. Please leave this page/tab open until the downloading process is complete. Do not refresh or navigate away from this page.” As indicated, it may take a while for the export to complete based on the size of your individual export as well as other simultaneous export queue activity on the platform.

Depending on how your browser is set up, you may see a ‘Downloads’ notification appear, as soon as your export completes.
