Importing References to Zotero from Covidence

ctwose
I am working with a team trying to upload references that have been exported from Covidence in RIS format. Zotero doesn't seem to recognize the format when I use the upload file option. I have also tried saving them in EndNote and exporting an XML format file.

Am I using the wrong import option? Any help much appreciated.

    Zotero absolutely supports the import of RIS (a standard format).
    Can you explain what you mean by the "upload file option"?

    Generally, you should use File>> Import.

    That's why I was wondering if I missed something obvious.
    I have been clicking on the "+" sign at the top of the library, then selecting "upload file" option.
    I'm on the web interface, using Firefox.

    There's no import option in the web interface, you need the desktop software (for this and many other advanced options)

    Well that would explain it. Will download the desktop version and see how far I get with it.

    Thanks everyone!

    @ebba1987 which problem do you have? Zotero absolutely supports the import of RIS (a standard format). Did you use the desktop application for RIS import?
  • ebba1987
    @LiborA I think I just figured the problem. It is Covidence issue not Zotero! I don't know why it does export an empty file (0Kb in size).. I will try to solve it but thank you for your response!
