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

For institutions with multiple users create a syncing system
Allow institutions to create accounts on behalf of users via Google.
Instead of having users create an account, admins simply provide users with the login and password for their account.

**Yellow Pop-Up Menace**
There is a persistent yellow pop up, which won't go away, no matter how many times you click the X.
I propose it should disappear after the first click, or have a box to say 'don't show this message again'.
Please vote for this - it's a menace.

The Journal Name shown as Null
I have recently faced a problem when I imported multiple references and at the end when I made the bibliography, some of the references were showing journal name as NULL, while on doi link the journal name was OK. I had to write 5 journal names by myself out of total 32 references. Do not know what went wrong though.

Allow me to print out abstracts to enable easy review of articles
Please allow me to print out my references, including the abstract so I can quickly sort out the main articles to use for citation after a large searching exercise
0 votesThank you for your feedback. We will not be building this feature at this time, as we offer many citation styles which display abstracts. We recommend generating a bibliography, which can be copied and pasted anywhere.

Link button in table view
Right now to view a source you have to click on the source, go to the sidebar that pops up, scroll down, and copy the URL text into the browser address bar. Putting a link to the source right in the table view for all your sources seems incredibly simple.

Improvement of Citation in Arabic
We use APA Style 6 for our research
The Citation in Arabic does not appear correct in Arabic. It is required that only the last name and year are included, but here the full name is included in the citation, but the list of references in Arabic appears well and this applies to references entered manually or downloaded from databases. Please improve the citation in Arabic1 voteIdea Exchange is intended for feature requests.

Copy and Paste references
It would be great if Refworks can allow copy and paste of other references to their platform so they can choose the type of style they prefer rather than only export, import and create a new ideology. Paste a reference in a box where it tells you what style it is, and which one do you prefer. Then, make your choice if APA, HAVARD whatsoever.

Realize folders and search function in Quick Cite
Quick Cite is only useful if the number of references in your account is limited, as it isn't possible to select a folder or search for a reference. Now the only possibility is to scroll through the whole list of all references. It would be a great improvement if you could select a folder and search for a particular reference.

Reliability and trustworthiness
I am working with a folder containg 20k+ references (never again!). The data is locked in to RefWorks because of the size of the folder (never again, as I mention). I am attempting to export .ris files with 1000 items per export.
Paging through the data, it takes on average 1 minute to move from page to page. If something goes wrong, you cannot maintain your place in the list, the display returns to the beginning, showing 50 per page.
The export usually downloads a .ris file to the downloads folder. However, frequently, instead, the file isn't doanloaded and instead…
1 voteRefWorks does not impose export limits. You may export all references in your Project at any time.
Export times will vary based on number of references selected for export and connection speed. A library of 150,000 references may take about 30 minutes to export. -

Capitalise titles when importing them
When using the (very very helpful) import citation from either google scholar or the journal page or wherever, is it possible to have the title capitalised? It might not be your doing it might be the originator. I have had to go through all the imported titles and capitalise them to comply with APA standards.
4 votesAs indicated in a comment, if the original title is capitalized make sure to use a No Title Casing style version. If the original title is not capitalized, you can customize an APA 7 version (using the Citation Style Editor) and select the Title Case option.

Repair display error in spacing between surname and initials
When importing a reference it displays correctly in the centre pane. However, when using that reference 'in text' it does not utilise the 'et al' option for numerous authors. One has open Refworks, edit the entry, add a space between the surname and initial/first name for each name and then save the entry before returning to the document to continue.
