RefWorks: RefWorks for Publication

What is "Remove Field Codes?"

What is "Remove Field Codes": This removes the link between the document and your RefWorks account.

When should you "Remove Field Codes"?

  • Before submitting a paper to colleagues for revision,
  • Before submitting a paper to a professor for a grade, or
  • Before submitting a paper to a journal for submission.

That sounds like a drastic step. Any steps I should take prior to Removing Field Codes?

This step is irreversible. You may want to save a copy of the paper with field codes (e.g. final_paper-field_codes.docx) and one without field codes (e.g. final_paper-no_field_codes.docx) so that you can easily revise the paper down the road. RefWorks will prompt a scary warning before you do this.
