Workspace: Exporting Citations and Research Materials

Exporting citations

To cite a single item in your Workspace, open the three-dot overflow menu next to an item and select Cite from the menu.

You can then use the Copy button(s) to copy your desired citation format. Or use one of the export links to export your citation as a plain text file, RIS file, or to your citation management service of choice.

To export citations for items in a folder:

1. Open your Workspace folder and open the Cite drop-down menu.
2. Choose to export your citations as a plain text file, RIS file, or to your citation management service of choice.
   
   • Optionally, you can select one or more items within a folder to export by first selecting the check boxes next to the items you want to cite.
   • Items contained in subfolders won't be included when exporting citations for an entire folder. You can use these steps to export citations for additional folders separately.

Exporting items to a PDF reference list

Exporting items in your Workspace to a PDF reference list is a convenient way to share text and image content. For example, PDF reference lists might be used for printing or to upload to a learning management system.

Exported PDF reference lists include the following:

• Your folder's title and description
• A hyperlinked title and thumbnail for each item that when clicked, opens directly to that content on JSTOR
  • Links for image detail views will automatically zoom the image viewer to the saved view.
• Tombstone metadata for each item (date, creator, and linked collection/book/journal)

To export a folder to PDF:

1. Visit your Workspace folder and open the Export drop-down menu.
   • Items inside subfolders within the exported folder won't be included in the PDF. You can use these same steps to export additional folders separately.
2. Select Reference List to PDF. A progress bar will indicate that the download is processing. Completion time will vary depending on the size of the folder you're exporting.
3. Depending on your browser's settings, the finished PDF file (.pdf) will either open in your browser where it can be downloaded, or it will be found in your downloads folder.

Exporting images to PowerPoint presentation

Exporting images in your Workspace to PowerPoint enables you to review, describe, manage, and add images for presentation in a visual format on- or offline. It can be a valuable tool for sharing, instruction, presentation, and studying with visual content.

Exported PowerPoint presentations include the following:

• A title slide with the name of your folder and the folder's description in the speaker notes
• Slides for each image and image detail view with item metadata and any notes you may have added in the speaker notes

To export images in a folder to PowerPoint:

1. Visit your Workspace folder and open the Export drop-down menu.
   • Non-image items in the exported folder won't be included in the PowerPoint file.
   • Items inside subfolders within the exported folder won't be included in the PowerPoint file. You can use these steps to export additional folders separately.
2. Select Images to PowerPoint. A progress bar will indicate that the download is processing. Completion time will vary depending on the size of the folder you're exporting.
3. The finished PowerPoint file (.pptx) can be found in your downloads folder.

Exporting images to a ZIP folder

Exporting images in your Workspace to a compressed ZIP file is one way of making them available for use offline. For example, you can download multiple images at once for creating teaching materials.

Exported ZIP files include the following:

• A 1920px-resolution JPG file (.jpg) for each image and image detail
• An HTML file (.html) for each item containing image metadata and a thumbnail image

To export a folder to ZIP:

1. Visit your Workspace folder and open the Export drop-down menu.
   • Non-image items in the folder won't be included in the ZIP file.
   • Items inside subfolders within the exported folder won't be included in the ZIP file. You can use these steps to export additional folders separately.
2. Select Images to ZIP. A progress bar will indicate that the download is processing. Completion time will vary depending on the size of the folder you're exporting.
3. The finished ZIP file (.zip) can be found in your downloads folder.
