JSTOR Help: Saving JSTOR Citations

Saving JSTOR Citations

To save citations, select the Save Citation link listed below each JSTOR item displayed on the Search Results and Table of Contents pages. To save all items displayed on a single page, select the SAVE ALL CITATIONS ON THIS PAGE link.
To remove citations, select the "Remove Citation" link, which appears after you save your first citation.
To view your Saved Citations List, select the VIEW SAVED CITATIONS link located at the top and bottom of Search Results and Table of Contents pages. Your Saved Citations List tracks items you have saved across JSTOR searches; however, items in your Saved Citations List will be deleted after you remove the citations from your list. Citations will also be deleted if you close your browser completely, or if you decide to "Exit JSTOR." The list can be sorted in ascending or descending chronological order by using the SORT BY feature at the top of the page.

NOTE: The maximum number of citations you can save to your Saved Citations List is 200. A counter keeps track of the number of items you currently have saved. Items in excess of this limit will not be saved.

Citation Formats

JSTOR citations can be emailed, saved, printed, and exported in six different formats: RIS format, RefWorks, BibTeX, printer-friendly, citation-manager, and tab-delimited. Please see Directly Exporting JSTOR Citations for more detailed instructions.

Emailing Citations

To email your citations, select "Email citations." Once you reach the email form page, select the output format you desire (BibTeX, printer-friendly, citation-manager, or tab-delimited). You will be asked to enter your email address, the email address of any recipients, and any notes you may wish to send along with your citations. To send citations to more than one email address, you must separate the addresses with a comma. Please note that JSTOR cannot verify your email address in all cases, so please enter this information carefully. You may also choose to include your citations as an attachment; users who find that their email program creates unusual spacing or line breaks in their list of exported citations may wish to use the attachment option. You may preview the output format that you have selected for your citations by pressing the "Preview Selected Citation Format" button before you send your citations.

Saving Citations

To save your Saved Citation List to a local text file, select a format (BibTeX, printer-friendly, citation-manager, or tab-delimited) from the "View and Save Citations" option and then press the View button. A window will open, with the citations in the selected format. To save the citations to a local file, go to the File menu and select "Save As." A new window will open, asking you where you would like to save your JSTOR citations.

Printing Citations

To print your Saved Citations List as it appears in your browser, select the Print command from your browser's File menu. JSTOR citations can also be printed by viewing the citations in a new window or saving it as a text file, and then choosing the Print command from your browser's or text editor's File menu.
