When using RefWorks you will need to create a personal ReWorks account so that you can manage your own citations.

To login via Write-n-Cite you may be asked for your personal RefWorks login. When downloading Write-n-Cite for the first time you may need the group code. Click here to get it.

What is RefWorks?

The simple definition is RefWorks is a citation manager. It will compile citations/references you find from multiple places and put them in one place. You can then create bibiliographies as needed.

Why use a citation/references manager?

Citation managers help researchers:

• Collect citations from online sources, including electronic databases and websites.
• Organize references by subject, project, author, or other schemes.
• Access references from anywhere (with web-based citation managers).
• Create bibliographies formatted according to APA or other widely used citation styles.
• Share bibliographies with other researchers.

"Live" Training Sessions are also available. You can sign up for one that is convenient for you.
