[From RefWorks-COS Announces Feature Release Update, dated April 10, 2009]
“RefMobile is a version of RefWorks for mobile and smart phones, as well as PDAs, that allows you to access and view your references, manage folders and even add information to the Notes field of your references. In addition to being able to access and manage your references, RefMobile has a feature – SmartAdd – that will search the web for references based on a digital object identifier (DOI), PubMed ID (PMID), PubMed Central ID (PMCID), ISSN/ISBN number or by author and publication year or even search using part of a title. References located by SmartAdd can even be imported into your RefWorks account via RefMobile. Any user can access RefMobile at www.refworks.com/mobile.”
“RefWorks has added a new capability that allows any output style to be configured to include dynamically created OpenURL links in bibliography formatting. This new option is available within the Output Style Editor. You will now find an Add OpenURL Link to Output option listed in the Fields for this Type column. Simply add this field to any defined reference type (like you would with any other field) and when you format a paper, the OpenURL link (based on your Organization’s OpenURL definition) is automatically created and inserted with the bibliography.”
“After creating a new folder, you will now be returned to whatever page you were on before the folder was created, as opposed to remaining on the Create New Folder page. This enhancement makes it easier to get back to what you were originally working on prior to creating a folder.”
