RefWorks

[interested1]

I would love to have you implement something akin to RefWorks to chronicle sources. I know that most of the books we write on the platform do not demand citation; however, if this is to rollout as a publishing tool it seems to me vital to have some sort of citation management tool. Moreover, I know that having a way that transcends comments on the document to express the sources used as departure points for content development would help collaborators and editors --it also would remind author's where the genesis of the idea came from. This could be a great data set to document not only during the initial book production, but also for edition revisions and any future collaboration.

Again, this isn't an essential issue, but I think it is something to consider as you expand the user-base and project into the future the technology. Thanks! David

Hi @interested1,

Thanks for the suggestion to add a more comprehensive bibliographic management system to Atlas. That's not something we currently have on our short-term roadmap, but longer term, we will certainly consider more robust support for bibliographies/citations.

We do plan to roll out some substantial enhancements to our commenting system over the next few months, so stay tuned for that, and keep the feedback coming!

Best, Sanders

Hi @sandersk, Totally understandable why it's not on the short-term roadmap. Just thought I would put it out there that with robust bibliographic and citation support you can market this to researchers and academics alike! Later, David
