RefWorks has a feature called AccuCite. This feature holds information on what information and how it needs to be entered for the references to be formatted properly. Thus we recommend you select a citation style before entering the references.

You will notice the green ticks next to certain field. This means that there is data entry advise available. Simply hover over the green tick for We understand that sometimes the official and details. typical fields just are not enough for you to enter your details.

Last Imported Folder

Database area provides access to many public catalogs that have Z39.50 protocol.

Please note: z39.50 search results are opened in another window!

If you have a folder setup already and these are relevant to the topic of the folder, you might wish to save these results to that folder. Right now these references will be added to the last imported folder

Remember to close this window after you are done to return to RefWorks

Import from a RSS Feed

 RSS

(Really Simple Syndication) is another method for accessing information and importing it into RefWorks. Unlike other searches, most RSS feeds provide you with pre-determined content. Some data prevendors, do, however, allow you to create specific RSS feeds based on a search criteria.

First of all you have to locate RSS feed links on the web

Mouse over a specific RSS icon and copy the Shortcut

Go back to Refworks and select RSS Feed under Search options

Paste here the URL you got from Yahoo and click Ass RSS Feed

RSS Feed results are imported similarly to Z39.50 results the results are displayed in a separate window and you select the records to import into RefWorks. User may need to change the reference type, as most feeds data imports as a journal article

RefGrab-it RefGrab

Works with your browser to capture bibliographic information from web pages.

 With

all those references in the database now, you might wish to start searching for them.  You have a great variety of options

Note: Certain fields dont have the Search for Empty Field Option.
Source Type, Reference Type, Ref ID, Attachments, All Authors, All Periodicals and the Anywhere field.

This is a complete listing of all author names in the database. The number in brackets shows how many references exist. The Edit function allows you to change the entry on all references, e.g. if you wish to add the Umlaut to Mller And you can delete the author from the database, if you want to

Its time to get organized so far all our references are simply in the database and the last import is stored in Last Imported, you can search for them, but as the number of references increases this will not quite be the best way forward. So lets look at FOLDERS

Get Organized


RefWorks offers two main ways to organize your references. Most users utilize a combination of both. Add them to Folders


1.

Every reference can be in as many folders as you need them, but it is only one reference. Thus if you change something, it will be reflected in all folders

2.

Add Descriptors / KeyWords

Every folder marked in red is one, which you have created. Before you go about adding references to these, you want to remove duplicates.

When youve got rid of all duplicates (you dont have to of course) you can start doing searches to organize your references, in this case, I am searching for Brunel

Once you are done, you can click on FOLDERS > ORGANIZE FOLDERS to see how things have been split up. Remember one reference can be in as many Folders as you like. Lets take a look at the Economics Folder

Use Global Edit to organize

 You

can add your own terms to ANY field in RefWorks. RefWorks. could do so one reference at a time, however Global Edit allows you to do so for many items at once

 You

Add data to any field

Moves contents of one field to another

Delete data from any field

Performs a find and replace on a single field, the 4 electronic source related fields, or ALL fields

If you wanted to replace a particular descriptor, you could go in here and select EDIT. This would then make the change to all associated descriptor entries. While this might be a bit more cumbersome at first, adding meaningful descriptors will later on be very useful when writing a paper. Talking of which

Creating a bibliography
 You

have two options. Simply create a bibliography for selected items (use folders or My List) or  Write a paper in word and use Write-N-Cite Write(a small plug-in) to create your paper plug-

Now this is nice, a great reading list, fantastic to show your Professor before you get going. But there is one functionality that is really hot: Writing a paper and format in-text citations and references at the same time.

Creating a bibliography


You will need to install Write-N-Cite, which is Writeavailable from our web-site. it is a utility that allows you to access an abbreviated version of your RefWorks account in Microsoft Word If you use a different word processing tool, this can be used as well, however you will need to cite manually. The only requirement is that your word processor supports Text, ODT or RTF formats.

Click links to download Window Version Write-N-Cite

RefWorks will learn which output styles you prefer and offer them on top of the output style selection box. There are over 500 output styles

Manually adding a citation

We have two ways: 1. Using One Line/Cite view accomplishes the same thing as WnC but without any plug-in plugto install and no software requirement
2.

Manually adding double curly brackets: {{RefID}};{{RefID}}; etc.

Useful when working offline

Read only access

Enter a read-only password. This will allow the person who knows the Read Only Password to see your entire RefWorks account, however no changes are allowed.

The person, whom you wish to give access, comes to RefWorks, enters your User-Id and the read only password. Once he/she clicks Login, your entire RefWorks database is available to them.

Note: Only references that had Spanish chosen as the Output Language, were formatted to have the title underlined and italicized in the bibliography.
