RefWorks

Use RefWorks to collect and manage your references and help with your in-text citations and bibliographies.

Writing Tools Options

RefWorks includes a number of tools to help with your in-text citations and to create your reference list or bibliography.

  • Create your in-text citations manually. Then use RefWorks to produce your reference list or bibliography and paste it into your document.
    This is a great option for shorter documents.
     
  • Write-N-Cite (WNC)
    An 'Add-in' tool for Word which links your document to your RefWorks database. Allows you to insert citations directly from RefWorks and automatically builds your bibliography as you work.
    IMPORTANT - WNC is not compatible with Word 2016 on a Mac. Mac users should use RefWorks Citation Manager.
     
  • RefWorks Citation manager (RCM)
     A newer plugin tool for Word which links your document to your RefWorks database. Allows you to insert citations directly from RefWorks and automatically builds your bibliography as you work.
    IMPORTANT - RCM is for Word 2016 on Macs or Windows machines but may not be compatible with earlier versions.
