Include referring URL or permalink
RefWorks should capture the referring URL or (when coming from an ExL/ProQuest property) the permalink for a record when importing. This would help patrons go back to where they found the item, in case they need more details about it, want to get the item, or want to find other things like it.

Link to source URL suggestions: Pubmed, Ebsco databases (e.g. Cinahl, PsycInfo), and Ovid databases (e.g. Embase, Cochrane).

Doesn't that already happen in some databases e.g. from Ebsco? OVID also has the option, although it's slightly less "perma"

And with regards to PDF import with the Save to RefWorks bookmarklet. Please keep the existing file names instead of renaming them with that nonsensical "savetoflow_" prefix.
