Easier exporting and list creating

RefWorks now allows much easier export of references and folders in various formats and easier creating of lists of references in your favourite output style. Using the right mouse click functions on one of your folders, you have many options, including very easy and fast exporting and creation of lists:



You can also select single or multiple references and use the right mouse functions on the selected button:

Exporting
and
Creating a simple reference list

As of Januury 4 RefWorks has made available an improved version of Write-n-Cite 4. According to RefWorks "this version includes the following:

New Features:

1) Significant improvement to synching of references with RefWorks accounts.
2) Removal of 2000 citation limit
3) Improved User Interface for insert/edit citation.
4) Relocation of the “Reapply Output Style” from the Preferences area to the main toolbar.
5) Auto-updating messaging improved and updated.

Updates & Bug fixes:
1) Spaces in Prefix now being honored correctly.
2) Corrected issues related to long author fields breaking “recently inserted” functionality.
3) Inserting two numbered citations together no longer causes font changes.
4) Fixed error that displayed a new reference in the compose citation window when editing an existing citation.
5) The “Not in Folder” folder now displays more than only the first 1000 references that are not in a folder.
6) A/B appending is now in alphabetical order for in-text citations in Word 2007.
7) Repeat authors now handled correctly when creating a bibliography with Chicago number style.

For your own computer you can get the latest version from the Write-N-Cite download page in your RefWorks account."

Please note that these are improvements over earlier versions of Write-n-Cite 4. University computers still have WNC3 installed because of sub par performance of those earlier versions.

We will again test and consider to request ICT-SC installation on UU PC's.

Adding/moving references to folder fails

Some users report failure when trying to add or move references to another folder. RefWorks tells us that this is a known issue when using Internet Explorer under Windows 7, but also under other Windows versions (XP and Vista).

There is a way to solve this and that is turning on the so-called compatability view in Internet Explorer. This can be done by selecting Compatability view under the Menu option Tools.

IP Authentication failure

Automatic authentication when working from UU computers has been repaired.

IP Authentication failure

Today IP-authentication for RefWorks seems to fail. This means that even when you use a university computer and visit refworks.com or want to use Write-n-Cite you will be prompted for the groupcode. This code has been sent to you when you first made a RefWorks account. If you lost it, please contact the library RefWorks has been contacted to get this sorted out.

Problems with manual input using Internet Explorer 9

When using IE9 you may encounter problems entering references manually. To solve this you have to activate the compatability view of the IE9 browser. You can do this by clicking the broken document icon that is in your browser's address bar. Alternatively you can avoid these problems by using another browser altogether (e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Chrome or, on an Apple computer, Safari).

Maintenance Thursday night Jan. 26th-27th

In the night between Thursday and Friday 26-27th January RefWorks will carry out maintenance on the Utrecht University database. This is in order to solve recurring access and performance problems. It is planned between 0:00 and 3:00 AM and should not take longer than 45 minutes. You will see a maintenance message if you try to log during these hours.

UPDATE: Apparently it is taking RefWorks much longer than expected to reset the servers our database is running on. As soon as we have more information we will get back to you.

UPDATE 2: RefWorks seems to be up and running again. UU staff and students: please inform us (bibliotheek [at] uu.nl) and RefWorks of any remaining performance issues.

Problems seem solved

Problems with accessing accounts and slowness now seem solved. If you still encounter problems please contact RefWorks helpdesk at support [at] refworks.com or (for UU students and staff) the library at bibliotheek [at] uu.nl

Login problems and slowness

You may experience intermittent problems with logging in and slowsness of RefWorks. This happens on as well as off campus. We are in contact with RefWorks staff and will post a message here when the problem is solved. This issue arose January Monday 23rd.

New Quick Start Guide RefWorks 2.0

RefWorks now has a fully updated RefWorks 2.0 quickstart guide in PDF.

RefWorks: switch from Classic to 2.0 interface

Currently the UU uses the so-called RefWorks Classic interface. As of July 17 it is possible to use the new 2.0 interface using the switch in the top-right corner of the screen. The new interface is a major overhaul and takes some getting used to, but the functionality remains the same. A few screens (Write-n-Cite and
RefGrab-It) will get their new skin only this fall.

On October 29th, 2011 RefWorks 2.0 will become the default interface. Through the end of the year it will remain possible to switch back to RefWorks Classic, but from 2012 RefWorks 2.0 will be the only interface available.

RefWorks has some material available to make for a smooth switch:

RefWorks 2.0 Quick Start Guide

Demo of the new interface

Tutorials (‘fundamentals and ‘advaced features’)

Free live webinars (recorded webinars also available)

The demo especially is helpful as it gives a quick impression of the most important changes.
