August 2007 Release
We are pleased to announce our latest RefWorks release. Program enhancements and changes are outlined below. Contact support@refworks.com if you have any questions or comments.
General Enhancements
New Mac Write-N-Cite
This new version for the Mac now includes the Citation Editor
feature. No more manual entry of in-text switches to include page
numbers, hide text, add text and more! See the online help section or
Basic tutorial module on Using Write-N-Cite for details on how to edit
citations.
User Customizable Output Style List
Users can now create their own list of output styles using our Output
Style Manager. The Output Style Manager allows you to select
styles from the complete output style list and have only your Favorites
display (along with any Organization-Specific styles selected by your local
RefWorks administrator). No more scrolling through hundreds of styles to
find the ones you want! This new feature replaces the display of your
last 10 selections, as in the previous versions of RefWorks. Your last 10
selections prior to this release, are now in your Favorites list, which
you can modify using the Output Style Manager. Brand new RefWorks
users will see a pre-defined list of output style selections as their Favorites,
which they can modify using the Output Style Manager.
Add/Edit Reference Enhancements
When adding or editing a reference, the name of the folder(s) the
reference is filed in are now immediately displayed beneath the folder
drop-down, making it easier to view your folder selections. Also, when
you select a folder name from the drop-down, you will now see an asterisk (*)
next to the folder name.
We’ve also added two enhancements related to AccuCite.
When you choose an output style for AccuCite in the add or edit
mode, all the recommended fields for that output style will be displayed
together, near the top of the add or edit page. This makes it easier to
see which fields of information AccuCite recommends. Also, you are
now able to select a None Selected option in AccuCite should you
prefer to hide output style-specific recommendations
New Export Option - RefWorks Tagged Format in XML
RefWorks and RefShare users will now be able to export references
in XML using the RefWorks Tagged Format. The existing XML export will be
phased out over time.
Miscellaneous Enhancements
Open URL Linking Available in Reference View
Users in organizations that have implemented Open URL
linking will now see the Open URL link or icon available when selecting the
View link to display the full reference details. The Open URL link will
also appear when selecting the View link in RefShare.
New Output Style Sort
Output Style Editor users will now see a new sort in the Bibliography
Settings area. This sort formats bibliography by First Author, Number
of Authors, and Year (Ascending).
Updated RefWorks Basics, Advanced Feature and RefShare Tutorials
All RefWorks tutorials now include audio. Simply
turn down your speakers if you do not wish to hear the voiceover.
Ability to Modify User Type and Area of Focus
Users can now modify their User Type and Area of Focus
(which you select when you create your account) in the User Information
area. To make modifications, simply select Tools, Update User
Information from the menu.
RefShare Enhancements
RefShare Recipients who have
access to a shared folder or database via an RSS Feed can customize the
RSS Feed String to include all records after a
specific date. To do this, simply append the RSS feed string with the
following =1&basedate=ddmmyyyy and
add the string to your RSS feed reader.
Administrator Tool Enhancements
Organization-wide option to enable Electronic Source Related Fields
RefWorks Administrators can opt to have the global edit related
to electronic source related information fields display by default for all
users. These four fields of information (data source, database, links and
retrieved date) will display on the Import Results screen after any import.
This option is in the Subscriber area and corresponds to the default Source
Type selection. Users can override the default selection in their Tools,
Customize area.
Account Activity/Inactivity Options
Two new options have been added to the Account
Activity/Inactivity area, giving administrators the ability to view
accounts:
- Accounts not accessed in past 2 years
- Accounts not accessed in past 3 years
Usage Summary Report
An issue with the export of the Usage Summary report has been
corrected.
Automatic Updating of User Type and Area of Focus Statistics
As we mentioned above, users can now update their User Type
and Area of Focus in the Update User Information area of their
account. When users make any change to either field, the User Type
and Focus Area Summary displayed in the Usage Summary Report area
of the Administrator Tool will automatically update to reflect these
changes.
Administrator Tool Tutorial
This tutorial now includes audio.
