As the world awakens from its winter slumber, we find ourselves greeted by the vibrant hues of spring – a season synonymous with renewal, growth, and fresh possibilities.

At ReadCube, we're excited to usher in this time of rejuvenation with our Spring Admin Newsletter outlining a number of product enhancements addressing challenges with managing conference proceedings/meeting abstracts to browser extension improvements.

Continuing our commitment to enhancing your importing & exporting capabilities, we’re pleased to introduce customizable CSV exports to provide you with even greater flexibility. Now, you have the power to tailor your CSV exports precisely to your needs. Want to include specific fields? No problem. Need to customize header names for seamless integration with downstream workflows? We've got you covered.  

Getting started is simple. Just navigate to the library or list you wish to export metadata for (or select individual references), then click on the cog wheel and select CSV to activate the customization screen. From there, effortlessly choose the fields you want to include, and save your preferences as a template for future exports.  For a step-by-step guide, please see our support article.

Managing conference proceedings and meeting abstracts poses a unique challenge within the industry, primarily due to the singular DOI often associated with conferences. This singular identifier complicates metadata management, hindering your ability to leverage powerful features such as 'Update Details' for existing references or 'Resolve Metadata' during import.

We're pleased to announce we’ve addressed this challenge, allowing you to fully utilize these essential features. When updating references in your library or list using 'Update Details,' any items categorized as 'Conference Paper' will be bypassed, ensuring that critical conference information remains intact.

This streamlined process enables you to swiftly update metadata for standard journal articles without overriding vital conference details.

Additionally, for those importing references via CSV files, you can now exclude specific references from the 'Resolve Metadata' function by setting the content type to 'conference_paper.'

*Please note that this functionality cannot be combined with the 'Merge Duplicates' feature at this time.

Are you familiar with the frustration of working on a lengthy document filled with numerous references, only to realize you need to re-cite a reference you've already included? The good news is, your solution is here! With our latest feature, effortlessly cite references already present in your document using the handy ‘List of active references’. 

With our continued focus on improving our document delivery service, we're excited to introduce a significant improvement. Now, when you purchase content, it will automatically be stored in the personal or shared library it was requested from, in addition to your organization's designated central library (if applicable). 

In addition, to ensure transparency and promptness, we've implemented a new notification. If, for any reason, we are unable to fulfill a document delivery request within 24 hours, you will receive an email notification. Should the fulfillment process extend beyond this timeframe, rest assured that we will keep you updated on a weekly basis until completion. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are our top priorities!

For organizations that require a purchase order (PO), we're excited to announce a streamlined process within the Admin Dashboard. Now, you can upload your PO directly, simplifying the process of adding more seats or replenishing your document delivery deposit account.  

By uploading your PO through the Admin Dashboard, you'll enjoy the added convenience of automatically advancing 50% of the document delivery deposit or immediately adding the additional seats you need. Say goodbye to unnecessary delays and hello to seamless efficiency.
