Q for CJ.. How to Edit Sage Import Instructions
Hey CJ and Lina,
I figured out the SAGE procedure from export/import into RefWorks. I can see how to edit the "export" part of what the public sees (Staff-Only -> Vendor Help -> Sage), and have edited accordingly. I can't figure out though how to edit the "Importing into RefWorks" section for SAGE. The import instructions are different than normal because SAGE is weird. The import filter in the instructions is not "SAGE" but should be "Refer Format". Full instructions are below.
CJ if you can add a comment telling me how to edit the import instructions for SAGE in the staff-only that would be good and I finish the entry off next Sunday. The entry is "inactive" for now since the current import instructions that show aren't right.

Exporting citations into RefWorks from Sage Journals Online is not automatic. First follow the Exporting instructions below, and then follow the "Importing into Refworks" instructions.
1. Search and find the information you would like to import.
2. Mark the articles your wish to export.
3. Next to "For checked items on this page:" Select "download to citation manager" and push the "Go" button
4. Click on "download to citation manager" link.
5. Click on "EndNote". Open the file, or save and open the file. Select all the text (CTRL A) and copy (CTRL C)
Importing into Refworks
1. Sign into RefWorks
2. Scroll your mouse over References on the far left in the menu at the top of the page.
3. From the drop-down menu, click on Import.
4. Select Import Filter/Data Source Refer Format
5. Choose End
6. Choose a folder to import references into. (Specify a folder or it will default to the Last Imported Folder.)
7. Choose: Import Data from the following Text.
8. Paste (CTRL V)
9. Import button
Comments
My first hunch is that the import instructions are automatically added to the export instructions for all databases. Theoretically, they should be the same for each database because we're not directly dealing with a database, rather a file or text.
The "Sage" part is probably drawn from the vendor name. I will have to double check to see what happens there and what it should or should not be.
Thanks for letting me know!

Yes, import instructions are added automatically. They only differ in those cases where export is automatic and thus import instructions not necessary. If we want to change the instructions, we need to add additional "if" statements in the code.
I have contacted RefWorks to see if they can add Sage as a database provider. Perhaps that will be a better solution.
Let me know if you have any further concerns about this.
