This question is in regard to Reference Manager Version 9. My computer crashed a few times as I was entering a new item. When I rebooted my computer the Ref ID* number is missing. Is there a way to re-enter the missing Ref ID*.

Hi Diane, I am currently working on one. I have got it working (just about). You will have to adapt it to your field names etc. I ended up having to add a bit of text to the DMP file so it isnt that useful if you are going to be using it too often. I notice you are from a competitor Pharm company, I am not sure if its in my companies best interests to help ;) Are you working in Sydney? If you can tell me the name of your librarian, I can help you. If you dont know your librarian you arent working hard enough.

I don't know if Therese has gotten her question answered or not--our mail server is in such a state they're taking down our entire system. Nor do I know if I'm interpreting the question correctly. But if the problem is, you can't click in the RefID field to make corrections or re-enter that which is missing, there are two fixes. More generally, use F11 (tools/options), and UNCLICK "Assign Reference ID". That option serves as a lock on the RefID, so that you cannot accidentally change it. (Changing RefIDs is potentially disastrous; you certainly don't want to do it by accident!) Interestingly, if you unclick it, the system WILL continue to assign reference IDs to new items you import into your database, as long as you have selected one or the other format (numeric or author/date). This should really be labeled "Lock Reference IDs". You may have to have the database open with read/write EXCLUSIVE access to do this, and if you are using the Network version, you may have to have administrator's privileges. I'm not sure. I don't think so, but... More specifically in this case, Therese, you may want to rebuild your database, as it seems clear there has been some data corruption. My understanding--and I could be wrong here!--is that essentially, with rebuild the system throws out the .rmx (indexing) file and recreates it from scratch using the .rmd (data) file. Along the way, it should spot any required fields that are missing--and RefType and RefID are the two fields that are required ALWAYS. There is a remote possibility that the RefIDs are there, you simply can't see them. Rebooting may solve the problem. Or you may discover that the font they are in has been changed to a color you can't see! But the more obvious option is data corruption from the crashes. NEVER keep using RefMan when it starts acting up like that. Shut your system down--close all programs and clear the memory buffers, which is one of the wonders accomplished by "reboot"--and then let the software tell you what needs to happen next. I suspect it's going to tell you to rebuild. Does this help? Cheers, Karyn Popham UT Houston School of Public Health Texas Medical Center

Good luck and let me know if things have to be changed. Since strange things happen importing the "date", I have chosen to parse that field into "Date secondary" instead of the "Date primary field".

This is important information because the database does not give an ending page, so the PG tag is the only clue about the length of the article.

RE: Entering a year range
Author: Popham, Karyn    Posted: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 13:51:16 -0500
Dear Anthony, Numerals are part of the basic ASCII set and are acceptable--it's the hyphen that's not allowed. You might get away with 2002/03, though. (But I doubt it!) My suggestion for these sorts of things depends on whether you are trying to RETRIEVE items from a particular academic year or if you are trying to print a bibliography with this information. I have to retrieve information from a particular academic year all the time. I make it a keyword. Easy! "AY2002/03" or "Acad. Yr. 2002-2003" or whatever. (I vote for clarity rather than brevity because you only have to type it once; then copy it en masse.) If you want to have this notation in a bibliography or reference list, the simplest thing is to use one of the User-Defined fields for it. (Use Field and Type edit to change the label. You'll then have to customize your output style to make use of this information.) If you don't know how to add a keyword to several items at once, or how to copy any field data to a group of references, the magic part is highlighting the data (in this case, "Acad. Yr. 2002-2003" or whatever) you want to copy, then use the software commands to copy it to other items in your list. Hope this helps. Let me know.

RE: outdated output styles?

Hi Cathy I NEVER trust RefMan's output styles. I always have to make up my own. I work in epidemiology, and they're always wrong for the journals I need (environment, general science & medicine) and sometimes theirs aren't even a decent template. I have to say that funky old Papyrus did a better job on this one. I don't know whether they don't care, they're ignorant, they don't pay attention, they change too often (this is probably a large component in RIS's defense), or they haven't spent enough time in a library. I start with the one RefMan purports to be correct, and check it religiously, and make a new one when necessary.

Hi Cathy, This is an ongoing and widespread problem that has survived version after version of RefMan. Over the years we've found that most of the built-in RefMan output styles we've tried using have been inaccurate -- and yet the manufacturers have the gall to use these styles as a selling point when advertising the software. They've made a half-hearted attempt to rectify the problem by posting some updated styles on their website for users to download (see http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp ), but you can't count on these being accurate either. For example, I've just downloaded the latest New England Journal of Medicine output style, and it's still wrong.

Dear Luis Easy to do. I also have my database on 2 computers with different harddisk letters. I used the find and replace instruction to update the link to the pdf file depending on which computer I work. Example: In the database on my notebook the link to the pdf file is g:\articles download\Journal of Neuroscience\Sano(#11995).pdf In the database on my desktop computer, it must be: c:\Documents and Setting\All Users\Documents\Articles download\Journal of Neuroscience\Journal of Neuroscience\Sano(#11995).pdf Note that I kept identical the last part of the link to pdf and that I only have to replace the first part of the address( i.e i have to replace g: with c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents). To perform this operation, I do the following: 1- Edit, Find/replace 2- Exclude all select LINK to pdf 3- Find text: G: 4- Replace With: c:\Dcouments and Settings\All Users\Documents 5- select All references in list 6- Press OK It takes about 2 minutes to update the link to pdf for 12,000 references!!

RE: Converting from 9.5 to 10+
Author: Perry, Christy B    Posted: Tue, 02 Dec 2003 10:17:27 -0600
Dear Becky, I read your comments regarding your upgrading to Refman 10+ and thought I would share some of my experiences with you. Refman 10+ was a big disappointment to me. I work in a small editorial office. We mainly use one database, which supports many documents. We verify our references using Refman's internet search capabilities, but the National Library of Medicine upgraded and changed their host servers. At that point, we could no longer run internet searches with 9.5, and had to upgrade to version 10+. Many times, we will insert excerpts of old manuscripts, which contain ver. 9.5 codes, into our current documents. Here are a few things that I have discovered when using new and old documents with Refman10+: - ver. 10+ does not recognize nor can it "unformat" codes from ver. 9.5 - ver. 9.5 cannot recognize codes created using ver. 10+ To work around this problem, I have both 9.5 and 10+ installed on my computer. When I have trouble with one version, I take it back to the other version. Unfortunately, this can create more problems. I sometimes get a nondescript error when "generating a bibliography" with ver. 10+, which completely halts the procedure. It gives no clue to the cause or its remedy. Although ver. 9.5 cannot open the ver.10+ database directly, it can "generate a bibliography" from a MSWord document using the ver.10+ database. So, until 10+ is improved, for processing our manuscripts, we will continue using 9.5. For internet searches and updating entries inside Refman, we use ver 10+. I hope this is of some help.

Hi There are two possible solutions that I know of, and I would suggest that you backup your original database first and/or test on a dummy one. These may or may not be the solution for you: 1. The obvious route is to export the data as a RIS file from Refman 10 and then import it into Refman 9.5. 2. The other method is to go into Refman 9.5 and do Tools, Rebuild Database, browse to the Refman 10 database (or better still a copy of it). It will then rebuild to 9.5 spec.

RE: Converting from 9.5 to 10+
Author: Suat Tuzgöl    Posted: Fri, 5 Dec 2003 21:49:53 +0100
Hello, The best way is to "revert to original text" your version 9.5 document, and save it as reverted_v95.doc. Than make backups of your old v9.5 database files. Start Refman 10.x and choose "Open database". Choose one of the version 9.5 databases en it will be automatically converted to version 10 format. Start Word. Open your "reverted" document and generate a bibliography via the version 10 CWYW menu. This should work. With Word 2003 (!) sometimes it's necessary to find your normal.dot file and rename it to normal.old. Start Word 2003, a new normal.dot will be created. Than open your reverted document, copy the content of your "reverted" document to a new empty document. Than save this new document (different name) and generate your bibliography. If you insist on using version 9.5 and you don't have the original version 9.5 database files. Make a backup of both version 10 database files (e.g., data10.rmd and data10.rmx). Than remove the data10.rmx (!!) file. Start Reference Manager 9.5 and choose Tools-Rebuild Database. Browse and select the sole data10.rmd file. The database data10.rmx file will be recreated and your database is now a version 9.5 database. Rename both files to e.g., data95.rmd and data95.rmx to discriminate between the different editions. Be aware that the content of some fields introduced in version 10 will be lost. best regards, Suat Tuzgöl DISC BV * P.O.

After updating your version, the first time you open your 9.5 database you should do it from the Menu File/Open databases and choose RMD DATABASES. This works for me while double click directly on a 9.5 database doesn=B4t open it and an error message appears. Obviously is important to preserve ref ID if you use it as link inside your documents, so if you import your references into a new database (empty database) generated in version 10 (alternative way to update your database) you should be careful with this item. After updating your version and your databases, you should use "Reverse to original text" button in your MSWord document in order to update the links. After that you should generate bibliography again. Update. I think Version 10.0 works better than 9.5.

I don't know a way to change it outside of changing the bibliography style. If you do change the style, you can save it with a different name (like, the name of that journal) so you'll have it next time you need to format for that particular journal. You can select the Citation Number in the In-Text Citation Tab and apply the superscript font attribute to it (it may not show up right away), and then you can click the In-Text Citation Settings button to change the "(" to "[", etc. Then do a File/Save As. You certainly don't want to change each one manually. Jeanie Woodruff Department of Symptom Research The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Houston, Texas
