Thrix update: Book reference validation and more!

We’ve been hard at work improving Thrix, and are excited to share the latest updates with you!

What’s new in Thrix?

• Thrix has always added and validated journal article details using Crossref and PubMed. This update brings the same capability to books and book chapters!
• Thrix now recognizes citations in the author–page system (also called author–title), as used by the Modern Language Association (MLA). Conversion to this system is coming soon!
• Dozens of style improvements and fixes, including:
  • APA. Intro text to article IDs used in place of pages, e.g. Article e04291; space before thesis description
  • Correct & consistent. Many new rules, and better defaults when retrieving missing details
  • CSE (all editions). No URL intro
  • CSE (9th Edition). Require accessed date only if the reference has no publication date; add DOIs
  • MDPI: ACS. Point before thesis description; thesis description not in brackets, title case
  • MDPI: Chicago. Thesis description: point before, in sentence case, and not in brackets
  • RSC. Comma and space before thesis description
  • Science. Double quotes added to book chapter titles but not journal article titles
  • Thrix Demo Style. Delete publisher location; citation in brackets changed from ‘(more recently (Smith, 1999))’ to ‘(more recently; Smith, 1999)’
