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".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. Create separate reference types for television shows and streamed videos (as they are required to be referenced differently)

    TV shows and YouTube videos MUST be referenced differently. People can be marked down and have articles rejected because of YOUR oversight.
    Here's an idea: go through a list of referencing styles and make sure that RefWorks is able to produce references for EVERY type of source listed there. How can any student or researcher use your product if it can't reference ordinary everyday sources? I can't reference newspaper articles with no author because RefWorks just puts ANONYMOUS at the front of the reference, when it should be the name of the paper. I could move the name of the…

  3. Screen Reader Accessibility issue and RefWorks profile creation.

    Hello RefWorks Team,

    My name is Daniel Bernardo and I am a Digital Accessibility Specialist reviewing online course materials at UNT. We reviewed RefWorks in regard to an upcoming course and found some accessibility issues regarding the use of assistive technology for users with visual impairments.

    My colleague who is fully blind and relying on NVDA screen reader and keyboard navigation found that he couldn't continue setting up his profile by himself after registering due to the popup window that appears one the page that is linked in the confirmation email. In particular, the combo boxes to select First Name,…

  5. customize display of Shared folders

    customize display of Shared folders. Currently, a public URL to a Shared Folder does not allow any customization of how these citations are displayed--or any selection whatsoever--creating disadvantage for RefWorks-naive users.

    Please allow the admin and/or user customization of how references are displayed in public URL Shared folders. (e.g., I might like to display only the title and abstract, etc.)
