Improve import of author's names
The most common problem we see with the formatting of references is that the author's first and last name are treated as one field, so that the in-text citation would read (Ali Smith, 2017) rather than (Smith, 2017). This happens quite a lot, is there a way to improve the export/importing of author's names?

How is the progress?
There have been a lot of requests about Japanese authors' names, so I hope it will be improved.
What I want to say in this request is
(1) For example, when exporting Japanese authors' names from a DB such as Ichushi-Web, First and Last name are delimited with space.
(2)Japanese authors' names are not output by the expected style in citations and references because their First and Last name are delimited with not comma but space.Is there any way to recognize First and Last name of Japanese author correctly on the RefWorks side even when it is delimited with space?
