Converting an Access Database for Import into
RefWorks
Read this section in its entirety before starting the export process. These
are general instructions that may differ with various versions of MS
Access. Access databases are all different in nature and may not be
compatible with Words Mail Merge feature.
1. Open your Access database, select from the Tools menu, Office
Links, Merge It with MS Word. Choose the option: Create a new
document and link the data to it followed by Ok. A new Word
document will be automatically opened with two new buttons,
Insert Merge Field and Insert Word Field.
2. You will be using the RefWorks tagged native format defined at the
bottom of this document. Now type the tagged field (e.g. RT , there
is one space after each tag) and click on Insert Merge Field and
click on the corresponding field that should be inserted from within
Access.
3. Repeat step 2 for all the fields that you would like to import into
RefWorks. After the last tag entry add one blank line. After this one
blank line the next record will start.
4. Choose Tools and Mail Merge from the MS Word menu.
5. Choose Merge Data With Document.
6. Choose option, When Merging Data with Document; dont print
blank lines when data fields are empty. Click on Merge.
7. A new MS Word document will be created with the references
(merged from Access)
8. Save the MS Word document with the Save as option as a text file.
Before you will be able to import this file there will most likely be
necessary changes to the file in order to comply with the RefWorks
format. As an example, it is highly likely that the Access database did not
have the same reference type identifiers if any or the necessary author
name syntax. See specific field notes below.

Reference Type Indicator Tag
If your Access database did not have a reference type indicators field you
will either need to use Words search and replace feature to change them
to the RefWorks supported types, or you will need to manually add them
yourself.
RT Tag is the reference type identifier and must be present as the first
tag in your text file. You can choose from the following reference type
indicators:

AB Explored the relationship between self-report measures of anger and anger
expression with those of social rank (unfavorable social comparison and submissive
behavior) and feelings of entrapment in a student population (197 Ss, mean age 23.4
yrs). The authors further investigated if the social rank/status of the target of one's
anger affects anger experience and expression. Students were given C. D. Spielberger's
(1988) State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory measure of anger and asked to complete
it in 3 ways. First, in the normal way, and then 2 further times after reading 2 scenarios
that involved lending an important and needed book which the lender fails to return,
where the lender was either an up rank/authority figure (one's tutor) or a down rank,
fellow student. It was found that self-perceptions of unfavorable rank (inferior self-
perceptions and submissive behavior) and feeling trapped significantly affect anger
suppression. It was also found that the rank of the target significantly affects anger
expression and that people who respond angrily to criticism tend to show more down
rank-anger when they are frustrated by a lower rank target and modulate their anger
according to the rank of the person they are angry with. (PsycINFO Database Record (c)

K1 Case Management Asthma -- Therapy -- In Infancy and Childhood Treatment
Outcomes -- In Infancy and Childhood (Minor): Prospective Studies Comparative Studies
Infant Child Adolescence Outpatients Asthma -- Symptoms
AB Statement of the problem. One approach to addressing the health care needs of
patients with chronic medical problems is case management. Little is known about the
effectiveness of case management in the treatment of children with asthma. Few
randomized controlled studies of asthma case management have been conducted. In
these studies, follow-up was limited to a one-year period. The purpose of this study was
to determine the effectiveness of a one-year primary-care based asthma case
management (ACM) strategy on symptoms of asthma in high risk children at 15 and 18
months post-intervention. Methods. Twenty-eight parent caregivers of children with
asthma aged 1 to 15 years, who participated in the ACM intervention the year prior to
the start of this study, agreed to participate. The ACM group (n = 15) received one year
of asthma case management and the usual care (UC) group (n = 13) received one year
of routine outpatient care. Results. Child asthma symptoms, affects on parent lifestyle,
and health system utilization were assessed. Based on caregiver four-week recall, the
ACM group experienced fewer annual wheezing days compared to the UC group. 25.17
(36.55) versus 71.61 (80.01) that was statistically significant (p = 0.03). There were no
statistically significant differences between the ACM and UC groups in the cumulative
18-month estimate of child night-time coughing and awakening, parent night-time
awakening due to the child's asthma symptoms and worrying, parent change in plans
and missed work, and asthma-related physician office visits, emergency department
visits, and hospitalizations. Conclusion. A primary-care based asthma case management
intervention was effective in reducing annual wheezing days in high-risk children with
asthma when followed up to 18 months.

AB The Minimum Degree algorithm, one of the classical algorithms of sparse matrix
computations, is widely used to order graphs to reduce the work and storage needed to
solve sparse systems of linear equations. There has been extensive research involving
practical implementations of this algorithm over the past two decades. However, little
has been done to establish theoretical bounds on the computational complexity of these
implementations. We study the Minimum Degree algorithm, and prove time complexity
bounds for its widely used variants.

AB (From the section) This chapter discusses the evidence for the proposition that
depression is an aetiological factor in coronary heart disease, and 2 of the possible
pathways by which this might occur: 1 in which social factors predict coronary heart
disease, and depression and its associated psychophysiological changes are an
intervening step; and the 2nd in which social factors predict coronary heart disease and
depression, but depression is not on the pathway. This is followed by a discussion of
anxiety as an aetiological factor in coronary heart disease. (PsycINFO Database Record

Converting a Word Bibliography for Import into
RefWorks
In order to import references that have been formatted into a
bibliography the references will need to have tags added in order for
RefWorks to read (import) the bibliography and parse the data particles
into the correct reference types and fields.
Below are the details on the RefWorks Tagged format that will be used in
the tagging process. The following reference formatted in the APA 5
th
addition style will be used as an example for this process.
Angrist, S. S., & Almquist, E. M. (1993). The Carnegie Mellon class of
1968: Families, careers, and contingencies. In K. D. Hulbert & D. T.
Schuster (Eds.), Women's lives through time: Educated American
women of the twentieth century. The Jossey-Bass social and
behavioral science series and The Jossey-Bass higher and adult
education series (pp. 282-300). San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Inc.
1. The first step is to break out the individual data particles in the
reference removing the all punctuation that does not conform to
RefWorks rules of entry and normalizing text, (see the field notes
section below). Note that the editor names have been edited to
conform to the Author notes below.

2 . The second step is to determine what the type of reference is and
start adding the appropriate tags. In our example we are working with a
book section reference. The first tag will always be the RT tag (see list of
RefWorks RT tags below) that is used to determine what RefWorks record
type to use. Below is the completed tagged reference.

depression is an aetiological factor in coronary heart disease, and 2 of the possible
pathways by which this might occur: 1 in which social factors predict coronary heart
disease, and depression and its associated psychophysiological changes are an
intervening step; and the 2nd in which social factors predict coronary heart disease and
depression, but depression is not on the pathway. This is followed by a discussion of
anxiety as an aetiological factor in coronary heart disease. (PsycINFO Database Record

AB Explored the relationship between self-report measures of anger and anger
expression with those of social rank (unfavorable social comparison and submissive
behavior) and feelings of entrapment in a student population (197 Ss, mean age 23.4
yrs). The authors further investigated if the social rank/status of the target of one's
anger affects anger experience and expression. Students were given C. D. Spielberger's
(1988) State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory measure of anger and asked to complete
it in 3 ways. First, in the normal way, and then 2 further times after reading 2 scenarios
that involved lending an important and needed book which the lender fails to return,
where the lender was either an up rank/authority figure (one's tutor) or a down rank,
fellow student. It was found that self-perceptions of unfavorable rank (inferior self-
perceptions and submissive behavior) and feeling trapped significantly affect anger
suppression. It was also found that the rank of the target significantly affects anger
expression and that people who respond angrily to criticism tend to show more down
rank-anger when they are frustrated by a lower rank target and modulate their anger
according to the rank of the person they are angry with. (PsycINFO Database Record (c)

AB Statement of the problem. One approach to addressing the health care needs of
patients with chronic medical problems is case management. Little is known about the
effectiveness of case management in the treatment of children with asthma. Few
randomized controlled studies of asthma case management have been conducted. In
these studies, follow-up was limited to a one-year period. The purpose of this study was
to determine the effectiveness of a one-year primary-care based asthma case
management (ACM) strategy on symptoms of asthma in high risk children at 15 and 18
months post-intervention. Methods. Twenty-eight parent caregivers of children with
Page 31 of 34 ©2005 Refworks LLC
asthma aged 1 to 15 years, who participated in the ACM intervention the year prior to
the start of this study, agreed to participate. The ACM group (n = 15) received one year
of asthma case management and the usual care (UC) group (n = 13) received one year
of routine outpatient care. Results. Child asthma symptoms, affects on parent lifestyle,
and health system utilization were assessed. Based on caregiver four-week recall, the
ACM group experienced fewer annual wheezing days compared to the UC group. 25.17
(36.55) versus 71.61 (80.01) that was statistically significant (p = 0.03). There were no
statistically significant differences between the ACM and UC groups in the cumulative
18-month estimate of child night-time coughing and awakening, parent night-time
awakening due to the child's asthma symptoms and worrying, parent change in plans
and missed work, and asthma-related physician office visits, emergency department
visits, and hospitalizations. Conclusion. A primary-care based asthma case management
intervention was effective in reducing annual wheezing days in high-risk children with
asthma when followed up to 18 months.
