RefWorks

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

Creating a reference list

Once you have the items you need, you can create your reference list. RefWorks calls this a bibliography.

This page shows you how to create your reference list within RefWorks - if you would like to combine RefWorks and Microsoft Word, visit the 'RefWorks and Microsoft Word' section of this guide.

  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).
