Importing citations
For most of our databases, you can bring your marked records or the items in your folder into RefWorks with a few clicks of the mouse. Importing webpage citations directly from Internet Explorer or Firefox using RefGrabIt
  • First, log into your RefWorks account.
  • Then follow the instructions here.
  • It will ask for a Group Code. You may request it here.
Adding citations to your paper
You will need to download and configure Write-N-Cite (a plug-in) in order to insert footnotes and bibliography into your paper. If you have trouble downloading, installing, or configuring Write-N-Cite, contact RefWorks support at RS-RWsupport@refworks.cos.com or call 1(775)327-4105
