RefWorks Tips, Tricks, and Guides 

If you can't get Write N Cite to work properly, follow these steps for formatting your citations and bibliography.

1. Login to RefWorks. You can work from a single folder or from your entire database. (Under the “View” tab menu, select a folder or “All References”.)
2. Choose the One line/Cite view in the Switch to: drop-down menu.
3. Choose a reference and click on it’s Cite link.
4. A box will open with the RefWorks temporary citation placeholder – this is not a citation but it will be formatted as such in a later step.
5. Click on the Select Citation button. This copies it to memory so you can paste it in your document.
6. In your document, place your cursor where you want the citation to appear and use the word
processor’s paste function to insert the citation placeholder into your document.
7. Repeat the previous steps with another citation, or multiple citations, placing them elsewhere in the
text (make sure to Clear the Citation Viewer first!).
8. Save and close your document
9. In RefWorks click on Bibliography
10. Choose your output style (If it does not appear, go to Tools and then Output Style Manager and add the desired style to your favorites list).
11. Select Format Paper and Bibliography.

13. Click on Create Bibliography.
14. You now have a second document, with proper citations and formatted bibliography. Save this final copy.
