Documenting Your Research - RefWorks

RefWorks | Zotero | Style Guides


RefWorks is a web-based tool designed to help you organize bibliographic references and use them to create bibliographies and format citations in papers. This bibliography manager essentially allows you to create your own personal database by manually entering reference information or by importing references from online library catalogs and article databases.

Recent RefWorks News and Updates

Write-N-Cite for MS Word 2007 (PC) & MS Word 2008 (Mac)

To use RefWorks with the newest versions of Word for PC or Mac, download the newest version of Write-N-Cite. You can also still download the older version for use with previous Word versions.

File Uploading Now Available!

This new enhancement allows you to upload files (.pdf, .doc, .jpg, etc...) to RefWorks and store them along with your citation information. To upload a document, edit an already saved citation and then browse to the file on your local computer, just like an email attachment. Now you can access that file from anywhere through your RefWorks account.

Previous RefWorks News and Updates

Article Linker Now Appears in RefWorks

For each reference, an Article Linker button will appear. Clicking on this button will execute a search for the particular article through Wheaton's Journal Finder to see if we have the article electronically, in print, or if we'll need to request it through interlibrary loan.

JSTOR Adds Direct Export Capability

You may now export references directly from JSTOR into RefWorks, instead of creating and importing a text file. For more details see the JSTOR exporting instructions.

Google Scholar Direct Export Available

You can now send data from Google Scholar to your RefWorks account with the click of a button. For details on how to set up this feature, see the Google Scholar exporting instructions.
