RefWorks update
We’ve made some minor changes to our RefWorks output style today, so you’ll find the Harvard UoN option missing the next time you log into RefWorks or Write-N-Cite. Unfortunately we can’t prevent this, but I’ve added a short guide to the Research Support Hub demonstrating how to restore the Harvard UoN style.

RefWorks: Restoring the Harvard UoN style
FAQ: I’ve lost the Harvard UoN output style in RefWorks. How do I get it back?
From time to time we need to apply maintenance tweaks to our university RefWorks configuration. An unfortunate consequence of this is that the Harvard UoN option will disappear from your list of output styles. This post demonstrates how to restore it.
Blogwatch: UoN researchers at SCAPE 2012
Jeff Ollerton reports from SCAPE 2012, the annual meeting of the Scandinavian Association of Pollination Ecologists, which included presentations from André Rodrigo Rech and Stella Watts of the university’s Landscape and Biodiversity Research Group.
Jeff’s post, barely two days old, is already prominent in various Google searches relating to the conference, and demonstrates how a blog can be a valuable tool for disseminating your research work, activity and interests.
If you’re a University of Northampton researcher with a blog of your own – or if you’re thinking of starting one and need some advice – please let us know (or see the slides from our recent workshop).
