Food Science and Technology Abstracts - New EndNote Filter

To export references from the Food Science and Technology Abstracts (FSTA) database to an EndNote library a small file called a 'filter' is necessary to ensure that the records are correctly formatted. As a filter for FSTA does not come pre-loaded with EndNote so we have made one available from the Software Download page on the Library website. Unfortunately the output format for references from FSTA has changed and the original filter supplied from this page (FSTA_MU) no longer creates properly structured EndNote records. A new version has been created (FSTA_MU2). If you have the older version, or if you wish to export from FSTA to EndNote for the first time click here. Save it in the folder Program Files/EndNote/Filters.

From the FSTA database select the Direct Export Option and click on Save. When a box appears asking you to select a filter choose FSTA_MU2.
