Apologies if this issue has been worked out already... Just tested this from home tonight. I was forced to register a ScienceDirect profile (along with my e-mail address) against an Athens DA session. Then I chose "My Profile" -> "Modify Personal Details and Preferences", and entered my Refworks group code, ID and password in the relevant subsection. Coincidentally, I'd also registered a new Refworks profile against an Athens DA session (I actually used the same Refworks credentials as my classic Athens credentials, without any conflict). Scopus has a separate section for Refworks under "My Profile" and it also works seamlessly too now. CSA, on the other hand, required a speedy intervention when prompted by the following message, displayed all too briefly before looping back to the CSA export page again: <<The target page is intended to open in a new window. If this didn't work: click here To return to your work: click here>> I managed to click the "If this didn't work..." link second time around and the export worked when I clicked through the Athens log on link. Literature Online worked seamlessly during the same session. BTW: The Refworks group code is your Athens site ID number -- this may be the key to cracking the problem.

I did manage to export a record to Refworks successfully, after some to-ing and fro-ing with the signing on procedure. If I remember correctly, I had to click through an Athens login link when Refworks opened. As I had an Athens session already running I was then prompted to log on with my Refworks username and e-mail address. Sorry, I'm a bit hazy on the actual steps but the point is, the export worked. Curiously, after I finished my session I received an e-mail from Refworks that included my login details. I didn't think I had requested it but, perhaps inadvertantly, I had.

They are looking at it, but as of two weeks ago the answer was 'No time soon'. I intend to keep pressing them though, as it is very misleading. It is the same with classic Athens accounts Patrick Teskey Systems Support Librarian University of Ulster -----Original Message----- From: An informal open list set up by the UK Serials Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Norris, David Sent: 17 July 2006 14:29 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: RefWorks, AthensDA and ScienceDirect Dear all I posted this request to lis-ukeig last week and a respondent suggested I also try lis-e-journals, apologies to those subscribers on both lists. Is anyone else having a problem exporting references from ScienceDirect to RefWorks using AthensDA? King's College and University of Bolton replied to the earlier post to say they do, and are having no luck getting a resolution either. Our users get a "Your session has now been terminated" message on a screen from Athens. We reported the problem to CSA, Elsevier and Athens a while ago but they all point the finger at each other.
