About RefWorks
What is RefWorks?
RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management tool (citation manager) that allows you to create a database of citations or references
to resources (books, journal articles, web sites, etc.). It facilitates the insertion of citations within a research paper as in-text references,
footnotes, or endnotes, and the creation of a formatted bibliography using a citation style of choice. All major citation styles are supported
(e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.).
Who can use Refworks?
York University Libraries have purchased a campus-wide license for RefWorks. Any current York student, staff or faculty member can
access and use this software without individual charge.

Using Refworks and Write-N-Cite
Do I need to download software?
Use of RefWorks requires no software to be downloaded. You only require a compatible browser and an Internet connection. To
automatically insert citations into an MS Word document, you need to download a small utility called Write-N-Cite. To install Write-N-Cite,
log in to RefWorks and follow the instructions under “Write-N-Cite” on the Tools menu. Make note of the available information about using
Write-N-Cite and related compatibility issues. Please note that Write-N-Cite is available on all library computers where the MS Office Suite
is installed. Write-N-Cite 2.5 is not currently supported by OS X Lion, but there is a workaround. Scholars Portal has also posted solutions
with some screen shots. Also, Write-N-Cite 4 is now available.
How do I use RefWorks and Write-N-Cite?
We have RefWorks drop-in workshops throughout the year.
There are several online tutorials and guides available for RefWorks:
RefWorks 2.0 Library Guide.This guide was developed for Ontario university students by Scholars Portal, a services of the Ontario
Council of University Libraries (OCUL).
RefWorks’ Quick Start Guide provides access to written instructions on using RefWorks and an online tutorial.
RefWorks Tutorial provides both an English and French tutorial on the basics of using RefWorks.
Online Help provides assistance on almost all issues related to the use of RefWorks.
