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

Allow us to be able to access the old version of ref works through the new version
There may be references that we have not moved from the old version to the new one. We should be able to move from one version to the other on the same interface.

Problem with Create Bibliography
I'm using RefWorks. In the "All References" view I click on a checkbox to select a reference then when I click on "Create Bibliography" and go to choose a "Selected Style" no styles appear on the drop down. This functionality was working but just stopped working a few hours ago. Can it be fixed?

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

APA 6th punctuation in references
The references inserted into an APA paper using RCM should place two spaces after a period that ends each sentence.

APA 6th website with no author
The current method that RCM uses does not look like the APA 6th method, e.g. APA 6th e.g. "The Quick Brown Fox," 2019 RCM e.g. The quick brown fox.2019.

What about Write-N-Cite in Word 2019?
Many new students are now working with Word 2019; does the newest version of Write-n-Cite (4.6.69) support this Word version?
1 voteThe new version of RCM (RefWorks Citation Manager) that will be released early 2020 will support Word 2019. WnC supports Word 2016 and lower, and currently there are no plans to have it support higher versions. Users of these versions should use RCM, available in the Microsoft store.

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

Remove ssl 3.0 from write-n-cite.
Remove SSL 3.0 as it is old, unsafe and no longer supported on many university workstations.
1 voteThank you for your feedback. We are not planning any new development for the WnC feature, as WnC is planned to end by Q2 2025. We recommend using the RefWorks Citation Manager going forward.

Bring back access code so people w/o RefWorks account can edit
We are happy that public sharing is now available! Except that the option to send an access code so that people without a RefWorks account can edit/make modifications seems to no longer be available. This is something that we used frequently for committee members who don't work here and don't have an account, but still need to collaborate on a document. Please bring back the access code option!

Está funcionando fatal. La nueva versión no sirve para nada
Subo los textos completos de los artículos y no me los deja ver.
Cuando importas un texto completo tarda muchísimo.
Las carpetas compartidas no funcionan. No sirve para el trabajo en equipo
Las etiquetas no funcionan
Todo el trabajo que pasé, es tiempo perdido...
Por favor, solucionenlo YA1 vote -
Cite web pages correctly in Write-n-cite using Chicago 17th

Adding a URL/ DOI at the appropriate times, depending on the source
We tell students that when they access one of our databases and export to RefWorks, then they can treat the journal article as a print copy – i.e. they don’t need to put the URL or the date they accessed it – see 1st ref example. If they get an article from Google Scholar, then they need to add the URL and the date they accessed it – see 2nd ref example.

Ensure CSL styles (Vancouver...) works well in RCM (RefWorks Citation Manager)
