Yes, you can.

LaTeX is a high-quality typesetting system designed for producing scientific, technical and mathematical documents. BibTeX is a bibliographic tool used with LaTeX to organise references and create bibliographies.

Some databases allow you to export results in a BibTeX format, those that don't may allow you to export to EndNote.

To export EndNote references into BibTeX format:

  • In EndNote click on Edit > Output Styles > Open Style Manager
  • Select BibTeX Export and close the Style Manager
  • Choose BibTeX Export from the drop-down list of styles at the top of the screen
  • Highlight the references you wish to export and select File > Export
  • In the dialogue box, name your file, save as a text (.txt) file type in the BibTeX Export output style and click on Save

Endnote style manager window

  • Open the text file in Notepad (or other plain text editor) to check the format
  • Close the file and change the file name to BibTeX format (.bib)
  • You will need to add your own labels to your references before citing them in LaTeX

You can also use EndNote with Overleaf, a collaborative LaTeX editor.
