Select the MEDLINE or MEDLINE (UTF-8) export format to download and save your reference list as MEDLINE format. The former export format is ASCII-encoded, while the latter is UTF-8 encoded.

MEDLINE format is a tagged field format that displays all of the fields held in a Medline record for a journal reference. More information about MEDLINE format is available here on the NCBI website. Many reference management tools can accept MEDLINE format as an input.

Note: Because MEDLINE only indexes journal content, only fully structured journal references are exported in MEDLINE format; other reference types and references that have not been fully parsed will not be included in the exported file.
