EndNote & Zotero Reference Saver (ERS) – A Smarter Way to Collect Bibliographic Data
ERS (EndNote & Zotero Reference Saver) is a powerful browser extension designed to help researchers, students, and academics capture and manage reference metadata straight from the web. Whether you’re working with journal articles, PubMed entries, academic sites, or news pages, ERS makes it effortless to extract citations in RIS format and import them directly into your reference management tools such as EndNote, Zotero, or Mendeley.

One of the biggest frustrations in academic research is manually typing in reference details or dealing with incomplete citation exports. ERS eliminates this hassle by providing one-click capture and download of reference data. Once installed in Chrome or Microsoft Edge, the extension detects citation metadata on any page and generates a properly formatted RIS file that opens directly in your chosen reference manager. (tera
ERS offers multiple modes to suit different needs. The Strict mode provides a fast and minimal extraction, suitable for quick reference pulls. The Enhanced mode improves on this by locally extracting richer metadata — including journal details, DOI, URL, and partial abstracts. For those who need the highest level of accuracy, the Pro mode uses AI-boosted scraping and server-side normalization to deliver full abstracts and publication-ready metadata. (terapisomvirker.no)
Privacy and simplicity are core to the design of ERS. No login is required, and the free version works entirely locally, ensuring that no personal data is stored or shared. A Pro license is available as a one-time purchase, unlocking advanced features while still maintaining data security and cross-browser compatibility. (chromewebstore.google.com)
ERS works on thousands of academic and research sites, including major databases, university repositories, and well-known news portals, making it a versatile companion in academic workflows. Whether you’re writing a thesis, preparing a literature review, or organizing research for publication, ERS saves time and ensures citation accuracy so you can focus more on your work and less on formatting.
