Field mapping and labeling - motion picture
In the Video reference type the labels ‘Studio Location’ and ‘Distributer/Studio’ are used. However, in the Motion Picture reference type, instead of ‘Studio Location’ the label ‘Place of Publication’ is used.
This is confusing for students. Can the label be modified by RefWorks or alternatively is there a way to customise it locally for our institutional style?
There is also a strange mapping issue between Motion Picture and DVD:
- If you have a record in ‘Video’ ref type format and change it to ‘Motion Picture’, you have to do delete ‘Medium’ and then add it again (otherwise it does not appear in your reference in the bibliography).
- Similarly if you change ref type from Motion Picture to Video you have to do some editing as the ‘medium’ field maps to a ‘volume number’ field.
