How can we improve RefWorks?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Why are you making us vote on new referencing styles when you should just have all of the ones listed already available?

    For example, Birmingham City University suggests that Audiovisual media should be separated into these categories:

    Films
    Television Programmes
    Videos from Streaming Services
    Vodcasts
    Educational Videos
    Videos from Online Video Platforms
    Social Media Videos
    Webinars
    Live Performances (Musical)
    Live Performances (Non-Musical)

    UCL suggests these:

    Film
    Online video
    Podcast
    Radio and internet radio
    Television advertisement
    Television programme
    Video game

    I'm assuming these universities pay to license your software - so why aren't you providing the functionality that their students need? Why won't you give us the ability to create our own bespoke styles if you refuse to do it?

  2. Ability to create a personal referencing style which includes descriptive links rather than raw links

    It would be great to be able to include a descriptive link to an article in a reference (e.g. the link appears as the title of the article or at the end of the reference as 'access article here'). Currently, it is only possible to include raw link in custom reference styles.

  3. Set candidate duplicates as "no duplicates"

    While deduplicating records that have been suggested as duplicates and that I have recognised as not being real duplicates accumulate at the beginning of each new page. They can become a hindrance, so it would be useful that there is a way to tell RefWorks that those records ARE NOT duplicates, so it would stop displaying them in deduplication pages.

  4. Add new field for translated books

    Could you please consider adding new fields; publisher and published year of translated version? Some bibliographies for books require them of ranslated version besides original version.

    I'd like to be able to archive the infrequently used folders. So that the list does not occupy so much. it would be something similar to what we do in outlock "archived folders".
