You may find that you need to edit a RefWorks record.  Sometimes, you may have entered some details incorrectly.  More importantly, it is very common for information to be entered into the wrong field when records are transferred from other search tools and you need to check if this has happened with yours.  When two systems try to talk to each other, they can sometimes get mixed up!

You can edit any record by selecting it and clicking on the pencil image in the top right hand corner:

Common errors encountered whilst transferring records include:

• all of the publication information (i.e. place, date and publisher) going into the publisher field, instead of the individual ones
• author information getting replicated in the title field, as well as the author one
• journal articles getting imported with a resource type of ‘Generic’ as oppose to ‘Journal Article’

Once you have finished editing the resource record, click ‘Save’.
