To import records from PubMed:

2.  From the “send to” dropdown, choose "Citation manager" for destination and "MEDLINE" as Format.  Then "Create File".

3.  The created file is called "citations.nbib".  Open this file using EndNote X8.  The first time you attempt to open a *.nbib file, you will be able to associated the file type with the EndNote application.

4.  Your references will be displayed in the "Imported References" group of your EndNote Application.

5.  If the citation information imported into Endnote seems incomplete, you might need to switch your import filter by manually importing the *.nbib file.  Do this by selecting File ->Import -> File...

Navigate to and select the *.nbib file.  Also change the import filter to be "PubMed (NLM)".  Then select the Import button.

Subsequent citations from PubMed should get imported correctly by double clicking the *.nbib file.
