Legacy RefWorks Guide: Write-N-Cite

Write-N-Cite is a feature in RefWorks that allows you to pull in references into a Word document, creating in-text citations and a reference list within your document. It is essentially a plug-in within Word. In-text citations and references within the reference list can be converted to a different referencing style at a click of a button.

Once installed you should she an extra tab appear in Word. It will either say RefWorks or ProQuest.

Click on this tab and Log In.

Now copy and paste the log in code from the Write-N-Cite page in RefWorks (Tools > Write-N-Cite).

Your Word document is now linked to your RefWorks folders.
