Improved APA Bibliography Formatting
RefWorks is the first to automatically detect whether a reference has a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) or other electronic information and print the appropriate information in your bibliography when an APA output style is selected – meeting the new APA guidelines.

To do this, RefWorks made changes to the Output Style Editor. Now when you create or modify an output style in RefWorks, there’s a new option in the Bibliography Settings area that allows you to Apply APA Rules for Electronic Source field inclusion. This option can be used in any output style. Here's how it works: When this option is selected, RefWorks will look for Digital Object Identifier (DOI) information for the reference and print that first. If there is no DOI in the reference, then the RefWorks will print the information in the Links field. If there is no DOI or Links information, RefWorks will print the Retrieved Date and Database information for a particular reference. Note: This setting only applies to references where the Source Type field is set to Electronic.

Automated Marking of Duplicate References for Deletion
When using the Exact Match or Close Match duplicate detection features, RefWorks now pre-selects (marks) for deletion the newest duplicate reference. Only one reference per matched references is selected (so if you have three versions of the same reference only the most recently added is pre-selected). This can help make the deletion of duplicate records even easier!

Improved RefGrab-It Results For PubMed and Amazon
RefGrab-It will now retrieve all the related articles for a record when looking at the detailed record view in PubMed. When used with Amazon, related books will also be included. This provides users with even more supplemental information to import directly into their RefWorks database.

Deleted References Folder
References deleted from your account are now automatically stored for 30 days in the Deleted References folder. This folder is accessible by selecting Folders, View, Deleted References from the toolbar. References can be restored to their original location in your database from within this folder. File attachments, RefShare comments and folder designation all remain until the reference is permanently deleted.

Miscellaneous Enhancements
Reference Type Name Change
The current reference type Journal has been changed to Journal Article to better reflect the type of information being cited.
Reorganized Help File
The online help file has been reorganized to make it easier to find and locate information. Topics have been consolidated into fewer, more logical groupings.
