Journal names when abbreviated dont't get added to the reference list correctly.
There seems to be a bug when adding references with abbreviated journal name to the reference list. Sometimes the reference gets divided into two lines even though it would fit to one line. This doesn't happen every time, but my collegeis having exatly the same problem.

Ignore punctuation in bibliography
The ordering of titles surrounded by inverted commas is separate to those titles that do not have inverted commas, in a bibliography.
Is it possible to ignore the inverted commas so that all titles are listed alphabetically, regardless of punctuation?I have tried ediing the 'title' field in the Bibliography settings but I don't see any option to ignore punctuation here.

Cut and paste references in google docs
It would be great if it was possible to cut and paste in google docs without the references in the text you cut out disappears, or aren’t recognized as references when they are pasted into the text again.
They don’t do this immediately but when you update the document or change your citation style.2 votesThis is not technologically possible in Google Docs as this is a Google limitation, which RefWorks cannot change.

Be able to import your school contact list for student/faculty emails into RefWorks
It would be great if we could have our school's contact info for emails imported into RefWorks so it was not necessary to manually type out each person's email for when you share a folder. This would greatly help when sharing with more than one person.

Be able to set sharing options on sub-folders like you do on folders
Add sharing function for individual & group for sub-folders. It would be useful to be able to set sharing options on a sub folder without the parent folder having to be shared out as well.

"Create Account" option shows up too soon, produces error, turns students away
On the Legacy Platform, students are experiencing an error when they attempt to create new account. The "Create Account" option shows up as soon as the consent button is checked, so students check on "Create Account" instead of "next" and experience an error, then turn away. Please do not put the "Create Account" option up until it's actually an option... until after student has entered their name, field of study, etc. This is extremely poor design.

Is there a way to configure the default view when opening Refworks to have the option to choose the menu from the sidebar?
Is there a way to configure the default view when opening Refworks to have the option to choose the menu from the sidebar?
Hence, when a user logs into their account - have the center display empty and have the use choose from the left column default options.
When our users log in - sometimes they get confused as to what they are looking at in the center area that currenlty defaults to 'all documents'
Would like to have the center blank and have use choose what they want to see..1 voteThank you for your valuable feedback. We won't be able to address this idea in our planned roadmap. We are committed to our users and are focusing on current goals and most requested features.

Where in the heck is my RefWorks button or where do I find it now that it is installed? Where are my directions for using this?
Here is an idea! Tell me how to find the RefWorks in MS Word after I install it! Where the heck is it! Where is the guidance on how to use it in Word? Come on guys, have a real user help you with this - I was supposed to be happily on my way using this tool to crank out my annotated bibliographies but I am spending valuable time to try and find how to use it. Really!?

Combining citations when article was published in installments, in Chicago Style
When a journal article is published in installments, over the course of at least two issues, according to Chicago Style, it should appear this way:
Brown, George C., ed. “A Swedish Traveler in Early Wisconsin: The Observations of Fredrika Bremer.” Pts. 1 and 2. Wisconsin Magazine of History 61 (Summer 1978): 300–318; 62 (Autumn 1978): 41–56.
Mine turns out like this, even after I edited the “Edition” field so it could have the “Pts. 1 and 2” included:
McLaughlin, George. "Cincinnati Artists of the Munich School." Pts. 1 and 2. The American Art Review 2, no. 1, 2 (Nov., Dec.…
