Ref works 2011

Margaret Koopman 2011

Outline
Web-based reference management service used for storing, organizing and searching your references
Create a personal database accessible from any computer linked to the Internet without having to download or install special software
use Write-N-Cite together with Wordprocessor to automatically insert in-text citations into documents and create bibliographies in the citation style of your choice*
*When you are in Write-N-Cite you can work offline to overcome the frustration of response time lags
Import bibliographies from Mendeley to Refworks

Cautions!
Response time is slow
Export is reference by reference
Default is journal article – if you are exporting a book/book chapter you have to edit the reference
Only the first page of the reference is entered- you have to enter the last page
Typos are transferred into your DB
NB Rubbish In – Rubbish Out

Exporting to RefWorks from Web of Knowledge
Run your search profile
Mark any references you want to import
Click on marked list
Save in other reference software
Import to RefWorks

Import to RefWorks

Import .txt or .doc files to RefWorks
Format your file according to the requirement of RefWorks

Export bibliography from Mendeley
Mendeley does not have a suitable range of bibliographic styles
In order to export from Mendeley, create a collection to hold the references you wish to export
In RefWorks create a folder in which you wish to import the bibliography

Create Collection in Mendeley Click on Create Collection, this will highlight the words Untitled Collection. Type the name of your collection in this space, e.g. ConsBiol Paper

Create Collection in Mendeley
Swich database view to All Documents
Drag & drop the papers you need into the ConsBiol Paper collection

Exporting your collection
Highlight all the papers in your ConsBiol Paper Collection
Click on Export – you will see that three versions are offered, we are using BibTex
Give your export file a name and save to a folder on your PC

Import BibTex file into Refworks
Point at the References folder on your Refworks Menu, click on Import

Click on drop down menu next to Import Filter/Data Source
Change import data source to BibTex

Click on drop down menu next to Database and chose one of the DBs which has BibTex as an output format e.g. ACM Digital Library
Specify folder ConsBiol
Navigate to your .bib file which you exported from Mendeley
Click on Import

View Imported References
Click on your ConsBiol folder to check your imported references – there will be checking to do! Click on edit to the top right of each reference
To make this easier I suggest that you open Mendeley & RefWorks side by side – you can even cut and paste from your pdf in Mendeley

Create your bibliography
Jump to slide 29 for the instructions to convert your style to Conservation Biology
Click on Bibliography
Change Output Style to Conservation Biology
Find the document you are working with
Change File Type to Create to the word processing package you are using
Specify the folder your references are in
Click on Create Bibliography
NB you should have a valid document which is already populated with the citations from Mendeley

Open your bibliography and paste into your article
