Hi all,
I got a question from a user about whether citations from Ovid auto alert emails can be imported into RefWorks. After some experimenting and talking to RefWorks support, the answer is yes! It's pretty easy, too.
When users set up the auto-alert in Ovid, they should choose "email includes records only" for the report type, and "Ovid" for the result format (which is the default). Then, when they get the email, they can go into RefWorks, select "import" under the "references" menu, and use the "Ovid" import filter/datasource and "mixed databases" for the database. Paste the text of the email into the "import data from the following text" box, and the references will be imported, including the FindIt links. Yay!
I got thrown trying to do this on my own because I figured the result format in Ovid would have to be one of the tagged options. But no, just leave it as the Ovid result format and it works fine.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Liz
