12: How do I import data into RefViz?
|
Answer:
RefViz imports data as part of the View creation process.
- From the RefViz File menu, choose New View or click on the New View icon
 in the RefViz toolbar.
- This opens a browser for locating your source file.
- Highlight one or more files for import and click Open.
- RefViz determines the format type for each file and, by default, removes the references that have no title or abstract.
 The Title field is always required for import into RefViz, but if the Abstract field is empty, RefViz will look for content in the Notes field. If both the Abstract and the Notes fields do not exist or are empty, the reference is removed since these references have insufficient information for accurate text analysis. You can choose to allow references with no abstract in the Preferences -> View Creation tab.
Duplicate references in a single file are removed, if the data source provides a unique reference identifier.
- The importer then displays the Create New View window for naming your View.
- To see the import format used and the number of references in each file, click the More button.
- If your files were imported successfully, enter a View name and click OK.
