Do you want to organise you search results? The Databases in EBSCO, Proquest and Ovid offer export options to allow you to create files for importing into tools such as EndNote.
There are some free reference manager packages which have online tutorials to help you.
- A free basic version of Endnote: https://clarivate.libguides.com/endnote_training/endnote_online

Once you have carried out your research and selected articles of interest on eg Medline look for the export option. The results will then be formatted ready for you to transfer the data into the reference manager software.
