RefWorks

How to set up and use RefWorks to manage your references and create your reference list.

RefWorks and Microsoft Word

You can use RefWorks in Microsoft Word by installing the RefWorks Citation Manager add-in. You need Word 2016 or a more recent version.

If you use RefWorks and Microsoft Word together, you can add your in-text citations as you are working on your research, then automatically generate your reference list once you have finished writing. You can change your referencing style in Word at any point.

Note: This is an alternative method to using the Create Bibliography option from within the RefWorks web page. You can either generate your reference list in the RefWorks web page and paste it into your Word document, or create your references using the RefWorks Citation Manager within Word - not both.
