  1. Link button in table view

    Right now to view a source you have to click on the source, go to the sidebar that pops up, scroll down, and copy the URL text into the browser address bar. Putting a link to the source right in the table view for all your sources seems incredibly simple.

  3. Have a public URL for sharing projects

    In folders, it is possible to share with those who are not affiliated with the university. Is it possible to have a public URL option available when sharing projects?

  4. Authors editing area

    Thank you for all your good works. Kindly note that editing the authors and title has been giving issues since yesterday. Kindly look into it. More so, each time I click to save my work on Ms word, the refworks page disappears .

  9. Problem with Create Bibliography

    I'm using RefWorks. In the "All References" view I click on a checkbox to select a reference then when I click on "Create Bibliography" and go to choose a "Selected Style" no styles appear on the drop down. This functionality was working but just stopped working a few hours ago. Can it be fixed?

  10. Allow us to be able to access the old version of ref works through the new version

    There may be references that we have not moved from the old version to the new one. We should be able to move from one version to the other on the same interface.

  11. alternate titles confusing in record editing view

    My concern is that the record editing interface (for Book Section) confuses the 'Book alternate title' and the 'Book section title'

    Please see attachment #1: there, it is logical that the alternate title for the Book (Edited Collection) appears below the original Book title.

    However, as attachment #2 shows, when editing a ‘Book Section’ record, the Alternate Title field appearing below the (book section) Title is confusing, since that field will hold the book alternate title.

    What I'm suggesting here is that in a Book section record, the field should be called 'Book alternate title' and appear below Book Title.
