For RefWorks direct exports:

If your RefWorks information has been set up in My Profile, Scopus will log in to RefWorks for you, and the import will be run. The status of your RefWorks import will display in a new browser window.

If your RefWorks information has not been set up in My Profile, the RefWorks log in screen will appear in a new browser window, and you will have to log in to proceed with the export.

For RIS or CSV exports, a file download dialog box will appear allowing you to save or open your exported file.

For CSV files with accented characters, these characters will not display correctly in Excel unless you save the file, and then use Excel's data import functionality to view the file. For more information, see Viewing Accented Characters in Excel.

Note	If you have citation management software installed locally, the software may launch when you save the file.
