RefWorks has made several improvements to its recently launched RefAware online personal research assistant, and its web-based research management and writing tool, also called RefWorks. The company said that RefAware now includes a new feature that provides the user with “meaningful information about the author(s) behind the publications in their retrieved results” via links toProQuest’s COS Scholar Universe, which lists 1.3 million active researchers.
The profiles include current affiliations, recent publications, and links to profiles of co-authors plus images where available. Users also can create custom source sets. RefWorks now features Write-N-Cite III, a plug-in for single-document formatting that also allows for writing and formatting a paper completely offline.
