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.
