NEW RefWorks

RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) is an 'add-in' tool for Microsoft Word which enables you to cite references from RefWorks directly into your document as you write it. You can use your chosen referencing style and easily create your bibliography.

RCM is compatible with Word 2016 or later. If you have an older operating system or word processor you may need to use the alternative Write-N-Cite (WNC) add in. See  Finding the Right Writing Tool Add-on to check which writing tool is best for your operating system and version of Microsoft Word. 

In Word, click the Insert tab and select Store (this may be within Add-ins)

From the Office Add-ins Store search for RefWorks and select RefWorks Citation Manager and click Add.

Before you can log in and start using RefWorks Citation Manager you will need to have an account for New RefWorks.

Log in to RefWorks Citation Manager using your email address and your New RefWorks password.

You may need to login to RCM each time you open a Word document:

• Click Insert on the Word Tool bar and select My Add-ins (you may need to click Add-Ins first). See image in box above.
• Login using your email address and the password you used to register with New RefWorks.

To change the citation or referencing style click the action menu  

Select Change Citation Style and choose the style you want from the drop-down menu e.g. Harvard, Chicago, APA etc. and click Update.

• In your Word document, position your cursor where you want to cite one or more references.
• In the RefWorks Citation Manager either select from All References or click the drop down menu to select one of your folders.
• For a single citation, hover your mouse over the relevant reference then click Quick Cite (but if you also wish to add a page number click Preview & Edit instead and add your page number in the suffix box e.g. p. 7)
• To cite multiple references at the same location iin your text, tick the boxes then click Insert Citations.
• If you need to edit a citation later e.g. add a page number to it, place your mouse on the citation and make your changes when the reference information opens in the right side bar.
