There has been a change to
PubMed that should now make
it a bit easier to import citations into
RefWorks or any other citation
management software. The change that has been made is one that should cut down on the number of steps it takes to import citations. There is now an
option in the
Send To Menu that allows you to create a file to
import directly into a citation management program. I have included the
steps below and please contact the library if you have any questions as
we are here to help.
