New Direct Export Partners Link to RefWorks

RefWorks-COS (www.refworks-cos.com), a business unit of ProQuest, LLC, announced that several new direct export partners are now linking to RefWorks, its web-based research management service. Dialog's DataStar service, GoPubMed, R2 Digital Library, and DanBib are now among the more than 300 online databases linking directly to RefWorks. In addition, in the coming months, direct export links will also be available on other Dialog products.

Direct links mean that RefWorks users can export references from the online publishing collections directly into their personal RefWorks databases with the simple click of an icon. This makes it extremely quick and easy for researchers and students to gather information. 

"Direct export of search results from Dialog and DataStar into RefWorks is an outstanding example of pairing ProQuest technology with Dialog content to enhance the value of information," said Suzanne BeDell, general manager of Dialog and SVP of ProQuest. "This new capability helps customers manage access and distribution of documents across the organization and is a tremendous time-saver."

Other organizations that have implemented the RefWorks Direct Export include LexisNexis, Elsevier, OCLC, IEEE, BioMed Central, EBSCO, Google Scholar, JSTOR, HighWire, ebrary, Ovid, and the entire range of ProQuest information services.
