Doesn't work well

• I try to upload references with the Chrome add-on: doesn't work well. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.




• I try using the desktop app search tool: doesn't work well. It doesn't add the references even if it says it has done it.




• I try manually uploading new references in the desktop app: it doesn't work well. It doesn't sync with the web.

It's driving me crazy....

The Scrivener writing environment is one probably the best writing software on the market. However, it has no internal bibliographic and citing support. The reference and research packages "Papers", "Zotero", and "End Note" have all written extensions and automated workflows that allow more humane workflows integrating Scrivener and bibliographic reference and citing. Would be stupendous should ColWiz do the same but better!

Thanks, Randall Lee Reetz

Even if I imprt the publicatoin from pubmed the metadata like volume, pages, year don't get automatically improted. This need to be fixed urgently otherwise it will cost us so much time to do it again.

It would be nice if it would be possible to move the folders of the Library and to achieve more flexibility. So new projects (folder) may be also listed above and not as the lowest folder

Currently the search function of the insert citation only works on titles. It would be a vast improvement if it allowed searching for author etc.

When saving a PDF on a drive, automatic naming based on cilation data will be great e.g. FirstNamedatetitle.pdf

Saving all the PDF from a folder at the same time will also be great - We may need to make a backup or to share a folder content.

It will be very nice to have the option to link other cloud disk or drives (such as Google drive etc) as limited available drive space colwiz is provided

Some of the citation data may not be correct or incomplete. You have provided an option to edit the fields of each citation entry manual. Considering the tools already available in Colwiz, that is not an efficient solution. I am suggesting for you to make this correction of citation details automatic by using online searching of Google scholar or any other database where such information available.

When you link up your account to LinkedIn, it should suggest importing the data from the profile to populate the profile of new colwiz users.

When adding new references. In the bibliography, the "accessed" date in the citation is wrong. It doesn't show the correct date.
It would be nice, if it showed todays date.

When Colwiz cannot extract the info from a PDF file or "has a doubt" about the extracted info, the publication should be put in a "Needs review" folder.

Thanking for coming up with this open source reference management software. I have used Mendely and EndNote, but I am switching to this one. I have realized that I can not import folders in the specific folder in the app. Once I import the articles goes to all publications, so if I am working with different projects it becomes difficult. Also I can't import a folder containing sub folders at once, I have to import the subfolders separately. Otherwise I like the app. Thanks.

[Reposting. My first attempt had a typo that said the opposite of what I meant]

For example, using the Nature style in Word 2010 on Windows 7, the journal "American Journal of Physiology-Heart And Circulatory Physiology" gets abbreviated as "Am. J. Physiol. Hear. Circ. Physiol.".

The ISI Journal Title Abbreviation

http://www.efm.leeds.ac.uk/~mark/ISIabbr/A_abrvjt.html

should be

Am J Physiol-Heart C

Maybe you are using another system, but most certainly, "Heart" shouldn't be abbreviated as "Hear"

At the moment it seems that references can only be imported from a web browser using specific search engines, and from their search results or publication information pages. Being able to directly download pdfs (and the corresponding citation info) that are open in a web browser would make the web importer more versatile.

Allow the highlighter to be used with a finger or stylus on a touch screen, instead of having to use a mouse.

Currently, it is not possible, to edit a publication in a group. Maybe, because it is just linked to the main entry. But the problem is that the title formatting (i. e. species names in italics) is lost. Also, if I click on the group's entry, the formatting gets also lost in the main entry. That's a bug, i think.

I switch over to colwiz because it supports Google Docs. After importing my library from Zotero, all text marked in italics (i. e. species names in titles) disappeared. Now I have to edit all publications and retype the html tag for italics (<i>E. coli</i>). That's quite a lot of work.
It would be better to import this information as well.

I think it would be nice if you include the option to have subgroups in the individual groups.
