  2. Citation in text with continuous notes (ISO 690) used in books

    I would like to see RCM (Refworks Citation Manager) incorporate the option to use numerical citation with continuous notes, which is widely used in books. As permitted by Standard ISO 690

    "The numbers inserted in the text (in parentheses, brackets or superscripts) refer to notes, numbered according to the order of appearance in the text. Notes may contain references to cited resources. If there are several citations of the same resource, they will be given separate note numbers. "

    Now it isn´t possible

  3. Ordering of references in folders compared to in Bibliography

    Please can it be made possible to order references in a folder in the same order as a bibliography.

    I wanted to view the references in a Refworks folder in the same order that they were supplied by the bibliography function.
    I tried ordering them in the folder by "publication date" but this didn't seem to provide the same order.

  4. PLEASE develop an integration with LiquidText.

    Please add a LiquidText integration for RefWorks or vice versa. LiquidText is an excellent notetaking app and it would be wonderful to be able to use them seamlessly together.

  5. Extension for browser

    The save to RefWorks button has never worked for me or anyone at my school due to the blocks in place that can't be removed on computers for ads, cookies and other restrictions. A browser extension through the Chrome web store would help to solve this issue as it would be about acquiring permissions rather than relying on there not being any permissions to bypass. As is the nature of an application that reads the website and its data and extracts information many companies have been increasing the security of websites to prevent hacking but this inadvertently impacts programs such…

  6. RCM Issue: Citing Works with the Same Author and Year

    According to APA 7 #8.18 Avoiding Ambiguity in In-Text Citations (https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/basic-principles/same-year-first-author#:~:text=To%20avoid%20ambiguity%2C%20when%20the,al.%E2%80%9D%20in%20every%20citation ), multiple authors should still be listed in in-text citations to avoid ambiguity, when citing multiple works by three or more authors published in the same year.

    However, based on our review, it seems that the current RCM does not consider this special scenario. For works with three or more authors, it only include the name of the first author followed by “et al.”, without considering the ambiguity rules. Based on our dummy paper, which includes three references with three or more authors from the same year. In…

  7. Fix discrepancy in handling of 'retrieved' date

    In Edit record mode, 'Date retrieved' is a single uncontrolled text string. In Output Style editor, this data is split across two elements 'Retrieved (month/day)' and 'Retrieved (year)'. This means you risk ending up either with incomplete retrieved dates or with a repeat of the retrieval year in the citation output, depending on how the data is stored. Can these different data components by standardized, so that retrieval data is handled consistently?

  8. Deletion of multiple tags.

    I would like to request a feature that allows the deletion of multiple tags from all references at once. This would help streamline the process of managing tags efficiently.
