  1. Warning that a reference is already in Refworks when import it

    I would be great, if Refworks detects duplicates while I import references. RefWorks could ask: "This is already in your RefWorks database. Do you want to import it anyway?"

    • Suggestion about de-duplicate feature

      After running the duplicate checker, items that result are check-marked by default. In my view, it would be better that none of them are check-marked by default. Then the user can check-mark just the ones they want to delete, without having first to deselect all the items.

      • Deduplication of sub-folders, or between folders

        I would like to be able to de-duplicate sub-folders, for example where each sub-folder contains the results from a database search for a systematic review.

        Alternatively, a user should be able to choose to de-duplicate any two or more folders in refworks.

        • Improve to DeDuplicate of Non-English References

          New RefWorks identifies some Japanese (or non-English) references as duplication even when they are not duplicated.
          Improvement of DeDuplication for Non-English language references is expected.
