New Manage Folders Page
Users now have higher visibility of all their folders within a project from the My Folders page which can be accessed from My Folders menu and Tools dropdown.
In the new Manage Folders page, users benefit from a larger, more detailed display of their folders and folder hierarchies. This includes new insights:
- Added indicators for the number of subfolders, references, and attachments within each folder.
- Metadata Display: each folder and subfolder shows Created Date, Last Modified Date, and Sharing.
- Consistent Functionality: Includes the same interaction options as the condensed folder view found in the library pages.
Coming Soon: Support for sharing, hierarchy restructuring, bulk actions and folder merging.
Find in PubMed, Google Scholar, Crossref and DOI.org
Users can now easily view reference details and search for sources and related sources directly. This is available in Ref Preview and Ref Editor panes.
PubMed: view source material based on PMID or PMCID, search for related article in PubMed and search for more articles by each author
Crossref lookup: view source material based on DOI
Unpaywall: same functionality as before
Google Scholar: automated search based on reference data: Title, Author(s) and date
DOI search: view source material based on DOI
Find options are also automatically available in Public URL view
Access for the feature is managed by institutional Admins. Admins can enable or disable specific sources for their institution.
Workflow Improvements
View Options
User-selected reference display settings (Normal, Full, Table, or Citation) are now retained across sessions until manually changed. This applies to All References, Last Imported, Folders, and Search Results.
Search Databases and Find Duplicates pages will continue to use their default display views.
Allow Casing Changes in Edit Pane
Change text casing formatting option now available directly within the reference editor, allowing to make changes without manually retyping text.
Improved Attachments View in Library Reference List
The visual representation of references and attachments has been updated, making it easier for users to identify records and which records have at last one attached file; visible in Normal and Table views.
Public URL Folder Improvements
Added localization to Public URL view
Recipients of publicly shared folders can now choose to view the folder in their preferred available language, just as users can in their RefWorks account.
Improved view of reference list in Public URL view
Users can now quickly view key reference details: Author, Title, and Year within publicly shared folders, without needing to click into each reference for a preview.
Added and Improved Ref Types
Users can now format their references more easily by using more Ref Types. These are available when creating a new reference manually, during import, in Citation Style Editor and during export.
Ref Types: Email, Instant Message, Document, Preprint and Dictionary Entry
