Introduction to RefWorks:

RefWorks is an online bibliographic management tool that allows you to import citations directly from library databases, create bibliographies, and format your bibliography and in-text citations while you write in Microsoft Word.

There are two RefWorks interfaces to choose from. If you already have a RefWorks account, sign into "Legacy" RefWorks. If you haven't used RefWorks before, create a new account in the New RefWorks interface. More information below:

  1. Go to http://refworks.proquest.com and click the “sign up” link.

  2. Fill in your information making sure to use your institutional email address (you can’t sign up with @yahoo.com, @gmail.com, etc.).  

Once you activate your account (you'll receive an email with a link to complete the registration process), you’ll get access immediately and can get started managing your documents.

 

IMPORTANT: If you are already have a RefWorks account in the legacy interface, don't create a new account! You won't be able to use New RefWorks to continue work on any documents you started using Write-N-Cite in the Legacy version.
