Import Improvements
Import from Word or PDF
Users can now add references to RefWorks by importing bibliographies from within Word or PDF files.
All references in the document’s bibliography will be added. PDFs can be imported as separate references, but Word files, while saved, won't automatically create reference details. You can also assign them to a folder and avoid duplicates during import.
Import Related Articles Suggested by bX Recommender
Users can now easily import recommended articles from Ex Libris' bX Recommender into RefWorks.
In Normal or Citation view, simply check the "Related articles" tab in the Reference preview pane, select desired articles, and import them. You can also assign them to a folder and avoid duplicates during import.
Authentication Updates
To enhance account security, users must now create stronger passwords. Passwords need to be at least 8 characters long, include one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character. Passwords will expire every 180 days and can not be the same as last three passwords.
More information can be found here.
This is a phased deployment, meaning users will be prompted to change their password over the next few months.
