Peter: By default, RefViz will not import references that do not contain an abstract, or are lacking a title. Could it be that the references that you were sending over to RefViz did not contain abstracts? This setting can be changed in RefViz by going to the main menu and selecting Edit -> Preferences, then clicking on the "View Creation" tab. Deselect the option to "Exclude references with no Abstract" option, and click on the "OK" button. Try to send the references after changing this setting. Since RefViz bases it's analysis on the text contained in the title and abstract fields, if the references lack abstracts, there is little vocabulary on which to do the analysis. Consequently, the default is set to exclude references that are missing abstracts. Phil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Philip J.

It can then be accessed through the menu item Data Visualization in RM11, which should give me a view of how the references in my RM database are connected. I tried it on a database with 3-400 references, what happens is this: - - A bar going from 0 to 100% is showing that it is importing the references, takes about 8 seconds. - - Splash-screen for Refviz, where it says Trial version, and I can choose between Register and Purchase, after a few seconds these buttons are diabled, and it continues - - A dialogue box says: "Note: Some references may be filtered at import if they contain insufficient information (such as an incomplete reference missing the title). - - Another bar ("importing references") showing some progress is displayed for just 1-2 seconds - - Dialogue box: "Not able to create View. No references were imported." - - RefViz is running, but not really, as it contains nothing, the menus can't be selected, just everything on the screen is disabled, except the minimize/maximize/close buttons in the right corner. When I click the "close" button, RefViz closes. So it doesn't actually hang. But it can't be used. The references in the database are just ordinary things, mostly downloaded from Web of Science. I also tried to mark some of the records in RM (as I wondered if only the marked records were sent to RefViz), but this had no effect. Do anybody have an idea how I get my RM database visualized? Thanks? /Peter. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
