Suggestion for the idea exchange itself: Allow searching limited to specific product
I was trying to search within the idea exchange to see if my idea had already been posted but I cannot limit my search to a specific product. The search box searches within all products, which is not practical since it gives so many irrelevant results for different products.
1 voteThank you for this suggestion, we have forwarded this to Idea Exchange administrators.

Increase number of results we can export at a time from 1000 to at least 1500 or 2000.
Increase number of results we can export at a time from 1000 to at least 1500 or 2000. When doing systematic reviews for people, there are often large numbers of results and at the moment the absolute limit is 1000 (even though we can view 2000 results). Otherwise we need to send the results in separate files which is extremely time consuming as well as inconvenient both for us and the users.
1 voteRefWorks does not impose export limits. You may export all references in your Project at any time.
Export times will vary based on number of references selected for export and connection speed. A library of 150,000 references may take about 30 minutes to export. -
Delete Documents list
It would be nice to delete documents that are listed under "Assign to Folder". I have 130 that came in when transitioning from Legacy

Allow the option of Advanced search in Public folder shared
For many years we have been using a shared public folder that contains the publications of our Institute's researchers.
In the previous version of Refworks, the Advanced Search option was present in the public shared folder which allowed you to search for references of interest (for example: references by Year of publication/Document type/Department-custom field) and then quickly create the bibliography and/or export only the recovered references.
The shared public folder in New Refworks only has the "Search" option.
Please add the option Advanced search.1 voteThank you for your valuable feedback. We won't be able to address this idea in our planned roadmap. We are committed to our users and are focusing on current goals and most requested features.

Add dataset as item type
As NIH gears up to enforce a new data management and sharing plan and librarians work with researchers to develop plans and create new norms, I think it is important for reference management tools to enable researchers to cite data by creating dataset as an item type.

Write-N-Cite VS RCM
Hola!
En el apartado Herramientas ofrecéis la opción de descargar Write-N-Cite, cuando creemos que ahora recomendáis el uso de RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM). Crea confusión. Si Write-N-Cite no va a tener actualizaciones, ¿por qué en Herramientas no hacéis mención a RCM?
¡Cracias!1 voteWnC is no longer available for installation.

Make it works
There are many potential improvements related with notes, how to find words, etc. But I would be happy if, at least, the poor functionalities that it has, could work properly.
After contacting support service months ago, problems remains the same or even worse.1 vote -
Make it faster
For something that it paid for, my RefWorks is always moving REAL slow compared to other paid reference managers I've used (mainly EndNote). RefWorks seems to have trouble handling the 2,000+ references I've accumulated (and continue to accumulate) over my career.

Delete pp. from article numbers
I just realised that RW puts pp. in front of an article number. As far as I know this is not correct.

Improvement of Citation in Arabic
We use APA Style 6 for our research
The Citation in Arabic does not appear correct in Arabic. It is required that only the last name and year are included, but here the full name is included in the citation, but the list of references in Arabic appears well and this applies to references entered manually or downloaded from databases. Please improve the citation in Arabic1 voteIdea Exchange is intended for feature requests.
