RefWorks has a companion program that can be integrated into Microsoft Word
that will create your citations as you are typing your research paper.
It first must be downloaded and installed on your computer.
For detailed instructions on downloading you can review the information listed under “Tools”
then “Write-N-Cite” in RefWorks.
Once you have Write-N-Cite installed on your computer, you can begin using it to make your
citations.
In order for Write-N-Cite to work for an off-campus user,
you will have to add the proxy URL to their computer.
The directions are found on the library home page under Services & Info. After typing
a sentence that needs to include a citation,
access RefWorks Write-n-Cite under the “Add-Ins” tab at the top of your Word document.
This will open up a new window where you will need to log in to RefWorks/Write-N-Cite. You
will then see a list of all of your references.
If you have created a special folder for the paper you are writing,
you can mouse over the “View” tab at the top and choose your folder from there.
Once you have located the source you need to cite, click on the “cite” link
to the left and the citation information will be added where your cursor was.
At this point it may not look like it is in the right format, but that will be corrected
later on. When you are finished writing your paper,
you can properly format it within the Write-N-Cite window.
Click on “bibliography” and choose the output style you are required to use.
This will format all of your citations properly and create a Works Cited at the end of your
document.
