Add 'starts with' option for bulk edit/replace
This would be useful for managing DOIs; DOIs may be imported with no linking prefix or with an out-dated linking prefix and may also pick up unwanted information such as a proxy component to links. Currently bulk edit allows for the removal of outdated and unwanted elements with confidence. This then leaves a basic DOI. A 'starts with' bulk edit option would make it easier to add in the correct prefix only where it is wanted.
This is preferable to using a referencing style to add in the prefix (EG APA 7th - Sentence Casing, DOI: https://doi.org/) as this…

Add Social Media as a Ref Type
We use Cite Them Right 11th ed. Many social media examples have a medium type e.g. [Podcast], [Facebook]. Medium is not a field I can add for a RefWorks webpage type.

Create a format to correctly cite APA 7th edition for white papers and published standards
There is not a category to correctly import references for white papers or standards published by professional organizations. When attempting to adapt other reference types for this use, none work correctly. RefWorks should be able to manage these types of documents correctly.
This request comes from case #00901397 sent to RefWorks Technical Services

Add media Type field to references for BibTex
LaTex references are allowed to have a media Type field that is not currently an option in Refworks. This field when available and used can specify the media type in a bracket. For example, a personal communication reference with Type field set to Email will have [Email] specified in the bibliographic after compiled. Like so:
Chapman, S. (2021, Feb 4,). Re: Recreating DFN model in 2018 paper [Email].
This field should be available when selecting Personal Communication as a reference type.

Remove formating on import
Cut and pasted or imported html to be stripped before adding to RefWorks. This would separate the content from it's styling and allow the selected citation style to work correctly.

Be able to support https callback.
It does not support https callback right now. With the wide-spread adoption of https, this should be supported.

Limit record
is it possible to limit the import records from Libraries databases (like in the old release)?
it could be important to have limits of 20-50-100- 200 records per search.
Thank You

Adding a URL/ DOI at the appropriate times, depending on the source
We tell students that when they access one of our databases and export to RefWorks, then they can treat the journal article as a print copy – i.e. they don’t need to put the URL or the date they accessed it – see 1st ref example. If they get an article from Google Scholar, then they need to add the URL and the date they accessed it – see 2nd ref example.

citas hipertextuales
Al crear citas hipertextuales debería realizar una diferenciación entre cita textual y parafraseada, aunque imagino que debe ser complicado sobretodo puesto que se diferencian en que las textuales incluyen página, talvez una forma de solucionar eso podría ser que la cita textual debe haber sido resaltada en el texto completo del documento.
