SmartRefs plug-in release notes ​

The SmartRefs plug-in streamlines reference processing by combining formatting, verification, and integrity checks into a single pass. The SmartRefs workflow action submits your references to Edifix—automatically parsing them into your editorial style while validating references against Crossref™ and PubMed®. It also flags retracted papers from Retraction Watch, incomplete entries, and journals listed in Cabells Predatory Reports for review.

The latest version of the SmartRefs plug-in is 2.0.5, released on 4 June 2026.

We release updates regularly. If you have feedback or run into any issues, contact us—we're happy to help.

First customer release. Introduces the SmartRefs workflow action.

  • Extracts reference paragraphs from Typefi Content XML (CXML) using a configurable list of paragraph styles.
  • Submits references to Edifix for parsing and citation style formatting, with metadata correction using PubMed® and Crossref™.
  • Reinserts each processed reference with bib_* character styles and DOI hyperlinks applied.
  • Flags incomplete entries, journals in Cabells Predatory Reports, and articles in Retraction Watch with a warning comment.
    • Warning comments are now anchored at the end of the reference paragraph so character styling remains visible.
