What is RefWorks? RefWorks is a web-based bibliography and database manager. It allows you to create your own personal database by importing references from text files or online databases. You can use these references in your essays and automatically format the paper and the bibliography.

Setting up an account When you first use RefWorks, you will need to set up an account. The next time you return to RefWorks, you can access it via the database list.

Legacy Refworks You may find that RefWorks are trying to promote ‘New RefWorks’. If you are offered these two choices, go for what they are calling ‘legacy’ RefWorks.

Importing references 1. Automatically from a database Open and log in to RefWorks Log into the database you want to search Do a search Look for or options to ‘export’ (sometimes located in a folder or the save/print section) Follow the steps to export your reference

Export works best if you are already logged into your RefWorks account Export works best if you are already logged into your RefWorks account. It is also best to turn off your pop-up blocker through Internet options on Internet Explorer The database will then export the details to your RefWorks (it’s easier to log in first) It is good practice to organise your imported references immediately by moving them from the last imported folder into a named topic folder that you have created Choose relevant records (e.g. journal articles) to export to RefWorks

Importing references 2. From an e-journal (Taylor and Francis) Once you have accessed your title and wish to export the details from an articles on screen, you need to: Select the article by clicking on its title; Click on ‘Download citation’; Select the ‘RefWorks Direct Export’ option which is then visible under the ‘Choose Format’ heading; Confirm by clicking on the button to export into RefWorks.

Importing references 3. From Library Search Carry out a search Select useful articles Click on ‘Saved Items’ folder at top-right side of the screen Select Export – RefWorks tab

Importing references 5. Manually If you’re using a database which doesn’t work with RefWorks, or you’ve read a chapter in a book or journal that you want to make a note of, you can add this manually You can select which referencing style to use You can select what sort of reference it is and where it is from – book chapter, journal article etc

Open RefWorks and click on References tab Add New
