There is no mechanism to directly export from SciFinder Scholar to RefWorks (Direct Export Services in RefWorks language).

RefWorks does have a file import filer that works to import from a Tagged Text file.  The filter is named "CAS SciFinder". 

Import Procedure

References can be imported into RefWorks from a text file created by saving references from a Database Service.

1. Click the Import button and select the Import Filter/Data Source that matches the data you saved.
2. Select the CAS SciFinder Filter.
3. Select the specific database from which you saved references. For SciFinder choose CAS SciFinder as your Import Filter/Data Source and CAPlus or Medline as your Database (usually CAPlus).
4. To have the references imported into a specific folder, select the folder from the Import References Into list. For example, if you want to keep all references together from several imports to edit later, you should create a folder for this purpose. See Organize Folders for information on how to create a folder.
   
   References are always imported into the Last Imported folder. References from the previous import are removed from the folder automatically. When you have completed an import, you can open this folder to edit or add descriptors to the group before organizing them into folders.
5. Select the text file you created when saving your search results.
   
   To help organize your data, you may want to create a separate folder under your My Documents folder called Download Results. If you always use this folder, it will be easy to find the appropriate file when importing.
   • If you have a number of references to import, select Import Data from the following Text File and use the Browse button to locate the file.
   • If you only have one or two references to import, copy the data into the Import Data from the following Text box.
6. Click the Import button to import the data. Progress is shown by one * for each reference. The program tells you when the import is complete.

To view the import log, select View Log.

The import process creates a log file containing information on the status of the import. The log file shows information like data that was not imported and data that was imported into the notes field. In general, if you used the correct Import Filter, the import brings in all of the information and places it in the appropriate fields for each reference type. For details on the log file, see Checking for Errors.

Note: We recommend that you select View Last Imported Folder to review the import and be sure the data is correct.
