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.

Add dataset as item type
As NIH gears up to enforce a new data management and sharing plan and librarians work with researchers to develop plans and create new norms, I think it is important for reference management tools to enable researchers to cite data by creating dataset as an item type.

Add the ability to add page numbers to APA 7 in Google Docs
The fact that this is still an issue is frustrating. RefWorks, you have been told FOR YEARS that this is an issue, and you still haven't changed it. Faculty REQUIRE students include page numbers regardless of what the style says. I really don't understand why this still hasn't been fixed. There is no manual way to add page numbers in Google Docs.

Font sizing issue even after corrected. New citations resort all intext citations to 11, even the already correct intext ones.
When putting a new citation in every citation resorts back to font size 11 changing the entire document (thesis chapters).
Improvement: Once a citation is in a sizes correctly, keep it so. this should not be resized everytime a new citation is added.
Point: pre-updated refworks didnt have this issue, so this should have a solution.

Problems with the new version of Refworks
I am writing to you because I have been using Legacy Refworks for more than 12 years for my work as a university professor and researcher in the field of scientific production and bibliometrics.
It has always been my essential support for managing documents. They have been trying to get us to use the new version of Refworks for several years and have set a deadline for us to use the old version. Years of failed versions that erased all the data I had.
And now in the new version, since I have to switch to the new version by…1 vote -
Allow the option of Advanced search in Public folder shared
For many years we have been using a shared public folder that contains the publications of our Institute's researchers.
In the previous version of Refworks, the Advanced Search option was present in the public shared folder which allowed you to search for references of interest (for example: references by Year of publication/Document type/Department-custom field) and then quickly create the bibliography and/or export only the recovered references.
The shared public folder in New Refworks only has the "Search" option.
Please add the option Advanced search.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.

Currently, we do not offer for users to ignore or not ignore casing or other options. - Please can this be an option?
I know you can just ignore during screening, however it would help massively when looking through thousands of results if there were less due to casing issues :)

Increase number of results we can export at a time from 1000 to at least 1500 or 2000.
Increase number of results we can export at a time from 1000 to at least 1500 or 2000. When doing systematic reviews for people, there are often large numbers of results and at the moment the absolute limit is 1000 (even though we can view 2000 results). Otherwise we need to send the results in separate files which is extremely time consuming as well as inconvenient both for us and the users.
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. -
Suggestion for the idea exchange itself: Allow searching limited to specific product
I was trying to search within the idea exchange to see if my idea had already been posted but I cannot limit my search to a specific product. The search box searches within all products, which is not practical since it gives so many irrelevant results for different products.
1 voteThank you for this suggestion, we have forwarded this to Idea Exchange administrators.

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.
