In addition to the RefWorks release; we will also be releasing feature enhancements to RefAware! As you may recall, this past March, RefWorks released RefAware - a new current awareness service designed to provide researchers and other members of the academic community with immediate access to new research and publications in their field. This simple-to-use service allows researchers to be alerted when new articles are available - most within hours of publication and many even pre-publication. Harnessing the speed and accessibility of the Internet, RefAware provides a comprehensive, real-time picture of today’s global research. The new feature releases include the following:
RefAware General Enhancements
* Ability to Create Custom Source Sets for Searching
* Links to Author(s) Profiles in COS Scholar Universe
* Automatic Display of Images
* Increase in Number of Search Strategies per Account
We will also be conducting our first RefAware training webinar on Thursday, May 8 at 12:00 pm (EDT/GMT -4, New York). This session is open to RefWorks Administrators in addition to current RefAware users. Registration is required. To sign up for this session or to request more information on RefAware, please go to www.refaware.com.
As always, we hope these new feature enhancements to both RefWorks and RefAware will provide you and your users with a number of new ways discovering and managing your personal research data in an easier, more efficient manner. If you have any questions regarding these enhancements, please contact our Technical Services Team at support@refworks.com.
Thank you for your continued support!
