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".

  1. Remove the option in footnote styles to insert an in text citation or a footnote

    At the University of Leicester, UK, we have our own footnote style, based on MHRA. It does not include in text citations, so we would like local administrators to be able to delete or suppress the choice between in text citations and footnotes when inserting references in our style in RefWorks Citation Manager.

    Thank you for your feedback. Field codes in MS Office add-ins are controlled by Microsoft. To remove content control in Word while using RCM, right click on in-text citation and click Remove Content Control. Note, once this is done, RCM will no longer recognize the in-text citation, as it will be saved as text.

  3. Stop Deleting Comments so Easily

    On a document, I am writing many lengthy comments, yet it seems I keep clicking to edit a comment that I have already written and the entire paragraph worth of comments is deleted. Please make a function where it prompts a box to ask if the user wants to delete the comment rather than deleting it automatically.

  5. create an output style with sub-citations (see style Angewandte Chemie International)

    We need that Refworks support the sub-citation feature for the in-text citation and the reference list. There are many styles with this feature, Angewandte Chemie International... And a lot of science journals require this formatting.

  7. "Remove Field Codes" in WnC is an invaluable function for faculty and grad students. Please add to RCM.

    Publishers do not want RefWorks field codes in submitted manuscripts. WnC provides this valuable function, but faculty and graduate students, who because of their platform must use RCM, do not have this feature. I submit that RCM must have this capability for this population of users.

    RCM does not use field codes; it uses content control. To utilize this, you will want to follow these steps:

    1. Write your document in Word, as usual.
    2. Insert desired citations using RCM
    3. Select all contents in Word (Ctrl+a)
    4. Right click on the content
    5. Click on “Remove Content Control”:

  9. Edit in-line citation output style

    There are some ways to edit the in-line citations (ex: supress author, add suffix), but no way to edit the overall display format like there is for the bibliography format in the output styles. An example of how this is useful is when I want to cite multiple sources but have a semi-colon between references rather than a comma, since I am delineating specific page numbers and am already using a comma for that.

    Additionally, it would be great to see a preview of both the in-line text and the bibliography in RefWorks for a given output style, rather than…
