RefWorks

Creating a reference list

Note: Use this method if you do not want to connect RefWorks to your Microsoft Word document. If you want to use them together, visit our RefWorks in Microsoft Word page.

The steps below tell you how to create a quick reference list within RefWorks that you can copy into a document.

1. In RefWorks, tick the items you want to include in your reference list. This could be items in a specific folder or from the All References page.
2. In the top menu, select Create Bibliography, then choose Create Bibliography again.
3. Use the drop-down menu to select your referencing style. The Institutional styles folder contains styles used at GCU - if you need a different style, use the search bar to find it.
4. Click the Copy to Clipboard button. You can then paste the full reference list into your document.

The Quick Cite button

If you want to add your citations and references to your document individually, you can use the Quick Cite button.

1. In the top menu, select Create Bibliography, then choose Quick cite.
2. Select your citation style.
3. Select the reference(s) you want to use. RefWorks will generate the in-text citations - you can copy these and add them to your document.
4. Press Continue to Bibliography and copy the reference(s).
