Use Edifix in Typefi Writer

To use Edifix in Typefi Writer, you need an Edifix account. The Edifix integration is available in Typefi Writer 8.7.2 or later. To update Typefi Writer, follow the steps in this help article.

Edifix is an online bibliographic reference solution that automatically processes bibliographic references to help you meet style requirements, ensure accuracy, and provide links to cited sources.

When you "Edifix" your references, Edifix will:

• identify elements in bibliographic references of any style
• copyedit references to a variety of editorial styles
• correct references using data retrieved from PubMed and Crossref
• insert PubMed IDs and Crossref DOIs

You must have an Edifix account to use Edifix in Typefi Writer. If you don’t have an Edifix account, you can subscribe from the Edifix website.

Use Edifix to correct, link, and format your references

Steps to Edifix your references:

1. View your document in Draft mode (go to View → Draft) and ensure your references use the same paragraph styles.
   

   

2. Select the references you want to Edifix. To save time, you can partially select references.
   
3. In the Word ribbon, go to Typefi → Edifix References.
4. In the Edifix References dialog, choose your preferred options. The Edifix References dialog mirrors the options on the Edifix website. For a complete description of these options, see the Edifix knowledge base.
   
5. Click Submit. Please be patient: the Edifix process takes approximately three seconds per reference.
6. After processing, review details in the Edifix Job Details dialog.
7. Click OK to insert the Edifixed references or Cancel if you don't want changes applied. Note: If you cancel an Edifix job, you'll still be charged for the Edifixed references.
   

• The selected references have been restructured and corrected.
  
  

If your references include warnings or comments from Edifix, they are added as comments in your Typefi Writer document.

Comments are styled using the paragraph style, 'Comment Reference'. Ensure this style is added to your Typefi template to avoid validation errors when publishing.

To learn more about Edifix warnings and comments, see Viewing My Reference Results.

Known issues

The Edifix reference integration works by selecting paragraph styles to determine what is sent. It has been brought to our attention that references may sometimes contain a paragraph with comments which may have different paragraph styles.

Workarounds

• Same paragraph style as references: If the comments have the same paragraph style as the references, you can select them and send to Edifix using the Edifix References button in Writer. Comments will be skipped during processing as Edifix will automatically recognise and ignore them.
• Different paragraph style: If comments use different paragraph styles, manually copy and paste the references to the Edifix website.

A future version of Writer will provide a solution for this.
