ARCHIVED: In ProCite, how do I create a new database?
Note: Indiana University no longer distributes ProCite. For bibliographic citation management at IU, UITS encourages ProCite users to switch to EndNote, which is available for Windows and Macintosh. EndNote, EndNote Web, and Reference Manager are available to all IU students, faculty, and staff for download from IUware.
To create a new database in ProCite, follow these steps:
- Open ProCite. From the menu, select .
- In the dialog box that appears, select and click .
- In the next dialog box, in the "File name:" field, enter a name for your new database.
- If you wish, in the "Save in:" field at the top of the dialog box, you may select a location in which to save the database.
- Click , then .
Note: Every database in ProCite consists of two
linked files with different filename extensions:
yourfilename.pdt
is the primary database file (it
contains your data); yourfilename.pdx
is the database key
file (it contains the indexes). When opening a ProCite database from a
Windows folder, always double-click the file with the
.pdt
extension.
