Why RefWorks don't do page range?
I just noticed that all my citations from Refworks does not include start and end pages for journal articles.

Why is this? Anyone have experience with Refworks and willing to comment?

umm i know in refworks theres a section for you to put startpage, generally if you put the range in that section say 245-267, then itll work out and ull have the page range for the paper in your citation

If you spent less time frolicking in the woods, you might have an answer.

Meh. Refworks was do disappointing. So much promises and hype. Everything will be great they said.

End up with me having to finish it off manually.

So typical!!!

PS: Anyone read the Testimonials for Refworks? Some of them are out of this world!

Well this is interesting. I'm going to have to learn how to do this.

Usually my method follows:
  • Google Scholar up Article
  • Click Get It @ Mac
  • Click on More Options
  • Click Add to Refwork

It's in Scholar Preferences last option....less hassle for me since there'll be an Import onto Refworks option. I do it for anything I need to import on RefWorks...but I'm not sure if it works without LibAccess or a Mac internet connection.
