  1. Ensure the DOI field enables hyperlinks to work

    I've noticed when you pull references into a biliography the DOI links rarely worked - despite double checking them. Then when clicking on the DOI link in RefWorks, the links rarely work then either. This means going through all my references once exported and going back to the original article and copying and pasting the original DOI (which looks the same as in RefWorks) to get a working link. Must be something to do with background programming. Can it be changed?

  3. RCM Sort options: Ascending/Descending and within search results

    RCM search only sorts in descending order, nice for Dates but less for text fields (Author, Title). Toggle ascending vs. descending of a sort field would be ideal.

    Also, I notice that when searching for a reference in RCM, there is no sort at all. Adding the same (or any) sorting to RCM search results would really help.

  6. Refworks citation manager

    Refworks citation manager - the order of folders to narrow the citation selection from 'all references' down to a particular folder should be reversed, such that the most recent folder created, and therefore the one most likely to be required, should be at the top of the list and not the bottom.

  7. Add option to include publication field in a repeated reference when author unkown

    In the Footnotes Settings in the citation style editor, there is an option to "Show only author, title & cited pages" for a repeated reference. This is great!

    However, in Chicago Notes & Bibliography style, when the citation for an unsigned newspaper article is repeated (for example), the shortened citation should also include the publication.

    For example, this reference would be initially cited as such:

    "Number of Out-of-Wedlock Births a Record," Hartford Courant, November 26, 2006.

    But the shortened note should read:

    "Number," Hartford Courant.

    Can you add an option to include the publication field when there is…

  8. Remove final periods from footnote citations with multiple references

    In Chicago Notes & Bibliography style, footnote citations with multiple references are showing the final period (".") after each reference, even though RefWorks is correctly separating each reference with a semi-colon (";"), as per the Footnotes settings. Can you include a setting to automate removal of the final period?

    For example, when I add a footnote with one citation with RefWorks Citation Manager in Word, it correctly formats it as such:

    Clifford Geertz, The Interpretation of Cultures; Selected Essays (New York: Basic Books, 1973).

    However, when I add a footnote with two references, it does the following:

    Clifford Geertz, The

  11. Improve Citation Style Editor

    In the Bibliography Setting for legacy RefWorks, user can add Ref ID field, carriage (with n), or tab (with t ). We hope this function to be added to New RefWorks also.

  12. Always accurate display of results and associated folders

    Unfortunately, in the advanced search, the result display (in my own citation view) does not show the exact hit for each reference (e.g. 1 of 27) and the folder(s) the reference is in.

    In RefWorks legacy this was the case and extremely helpful to us.
    Will these features still be implemented?

    I think it is a pity that the folder display is now only in normal or full view.

    Advanced search result page shows # of # of results indication on top of the page. Click on "Customize" in upper right corner of page to select whether you would like to show Folder(s).

  13. Displaying folders in own citation style

    In RefWorks legacy, you could immediately see which folders a reference was in. – No matter in which view the references were output on the screen.
    Now this works only in Normal or Full View.

    This display would also be very useful in self-created citation styles, especially if a reference has been saved in multiple folders.

  15. Add "Ref ID" as a field to an output style.

    The authors that I work with like having a bibliographic style that shows the Ref ID in the very first field, before the author last name etc. Thanks in advance!

  18. Remove case sensitive restrictions on account registration

    Clients attempting to create new accounts receive the "We're sorry, but it seems your institution does not have a RefWorks subscription" message when capital letters are used in an email address, but are able to create accounts when typing addresses in lowercase letters. A "case sensitive" message would help to resolve this confusion. Alternatively, and better, would be to simply make this field not case sensitive.

  19. Please add the "Duplicate" [citation] option from Legacy to new.

    Please add the option to duplicate a citation from Legacy to new Refworks. I have used it often, and find it a quick way to add similar citations that are not from a literature database. It's the "Duplicate" button from the "Edit" option that I miss already. Thanks.
