importing to Refworks easy
After the latest update on refworks, i have to click on import twice. Firstly, i have to click on import when importing from database and then i have to select a folder and then i have to click on import. I preferred to import my references to not in folder section as i work on one project at a time. And later i transferred all the references to one folder. Kindly give an option, where if the references is imported, it goes directly into not in folder. Unless user specifically clicks on a folder and then clicks on import. It…

Import full date when importing newspaper articles from proquest historical newspapers database
When importing citations from Proquest historical newspaper database, only the year is imported. This isn't satisfactory for creating notes/bibliographies including newspapers, which typically require mm/dd/yyyy information.

Today after live came on line
The procedure for adding a PDF upload from the computer to the system is no longer working. Also, while in the system (Refworks) clicking on a PDF file to slide over to the system has two possible outcomes. First, the references are for a different journal, book, etc. or that to will not stick and save to Refworks.

Fix bug when importing references and choosing destination folder
There seems to be a bug in the new feature that allows you to choose a destination folder when importing a new reference. The first time I use it, it works well and I can choose from the drop-down menu. The second time (and every time after that), when I click the drop-down menu, none of my folders show up. I have to click through and import it, then assign a folder after the fact. Very frustrating because it works the first time!

I'm not a reference builder app - you figure it out.
I don't know how to fix it - that's your job. However, I'm Frustrated that it's a download from GCU but it only works correctly about 60% of the time and I'm not including PDFs in this which, of course, are not supported. I'm about to go back to using a different citation generator. If I wanted to repeatedly build my own citations, I wouldn't need RefWorks, right?

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

Provide automatic doi insertion in new Refworks
In the new Proquest Refworks the doi can only be inserted manually. In the legacy version this was uploaded automatically when importing references.
1 voteDOI is inserted automatically when available and when readable by the import filter. Please open a support case if you encountered cases where this did not happen: https://supportcase.exlibrisgroup.com/s/refworks

Allow Articles uploaded in Dropbox to automatically download in Refworks
Before finding out about Refworks, I had all of my articles saved in Dropbox under Dissertation Articles. I transferred them all to the new RefWorks folder in my Dropbox but I don't see them uploading into my Refworks project. I have a Chromebook so I can't click and drag the articles in there. There were over 100 articles in there. It will take me a while to transfer them myself.

How about actually uploading the right attachment? And populating the right citation information. I was up until 2am sorting out your mess!
When importing refereneces somehow, I have ended up with completely random refereneces in my list and then missing some important ones. I was up until 2am last night trying to sort out your mess but it is an impossible task when the link doesnt work/has not been populated. And all the citation information seems completely random, like I have ended up with someone elses's reference ! I will be writing a personal letter of thanks if I fail my assignment

Improve Import from old RefWorks
Please improve your import tool from the old RefWorks platform, as it does not import all references as it is now. I've tried multiple times in the last two years. I'm not switching to your RW platform, and keep using the old one because of this: I'm not willing to lose valuable references in the process.
1 voteIn the first half of 2020 we will be addressing some upgrade issues, primarily the mapping of fields. However all references can be imported when upgrading, either with the upgrade button (if enabled by institution) or by exporting from legacy and importing to (new) RefWorks. If not all references are importing, please open a support case at https://supportcase.exlibrisgroup.com/?product=Refworks

importing names with 'foreign characters' such as ä, ö, å to be imported correctly.
at the moment, when there is an import of a 'foreign character' in a person's name, the letters do not get saved corrected. It would be good to include the import without manual changes. Note, this does not happen all of the time, it does happen frequently though.

Import filter for ICTRP (clinical trials database)
Please could you provide an import filter for .xml files of references which can be exported from the ICTRP database:
http://www.who.int/ictrp/en/
It's free to use so it should be possible for you to obtain an .xml file with the tagged references on which to base an import filter. Clinical trials databases are searched a lot in health.38 votesImport filter requests are handled by the RefWorks support team.

Provide the ability to add different reference types to an existing style
There are new forms of information all the time and students are referencing increasingly varied things in their assignment. It would be useful if we could add new reference types to our institutional referencing style to cover these things.

It disabled my Zotero. Yet the Write n Cite disappeared so now I cannot cite anything. There is no help posted anywhere for this either.

I attempted to set up the synchronizing with RefWorks from ProQuest and now I cannot import citations at all.
I attempted to follow the instructions from a ProQuest database to synchronize My Research folders with RefWorks. I had an existing RefWorks account and followed the instructions from ProQuest. Now I cannot import citations from EBSCO EDS or ProQuest Databases.
I am directed to the login screen. I login with my account, however, it will not import the citation. I have tried this with the Chrome, Firefox and Next browser.
I would delete my RefWorks account and try again but the login is tied to my college email address so I can't use a different email address to try to…1 vote
