RefWorks has released a File Attachment Searching feature.
File attachments (.pdf, .txt and file names) stored in your RefWorks account can now be included in searching. This option is available in both searches – from the Search RefWorks box and the Advanced Search. PDF files created from images (ex. screenshots or scans saved as a .jpeg file and converted to .pdf) are not currently searchable. To include file attachments in your search using the Search RefWorks box, simply click on the check box next to Attachments after you enter your search term. In the Advanced Search, simply select Attachments from the Search Name drop-down as one of the four fields of information to search.
REFSHARE: File attachments made available in a shared folder or database are now able to be included when using the Search RefWorks and Advanced Search options.
As a reminder, the Attachment feature is automatically enabled for all users. As a default, each user is assigned 100 MB of storage space.
For more information you can view this File Attachment online tutorial.

Applying for an NIH Grant? Update on Using EndNote to Manage the PMCID.

"When citing a paper in NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports, include the PMCID at the end of the full citation. This requirement only applies to papers that fall under the Policy and are authored or co-authored by you or arose from your NIH award." (NIH Public Access Policy)
