RefWorks guide: Adding citations to text without Write-N-Cite

Adding citations and bibliographies without Write-N-Cite

Cite -action

If you don't have Write-N-Cite app installed on your computer or if you don't want to use MS Word as your text editor, you can add citations and bibliographies with RefWorks' Quick cite -action.

Adding a citation

  1. Create a citation in RefWorks by clicking the " -button in the top action bar and selecting Quick cite.
  2. A window will open. Select a style for the citation(s) and click continue.
  3. RefWorks will now show all the citations in the folder. You can select the references you wish to include in the citation by checking the boxes next to the references. The finished citation will show in the upper part of the window.
  4. Copy the citation and paste it to the text editor of your choice.
  5. You can now close the window or you can continue to bibliography creation by selecting continue to bibliography from the bottom of the window.

Editing a citation

You cannot edit a citation in RefWorks' Quick cite -window. To edit a citation, you'll have to copy it to a text editor of your choice.

When you have copied the citation to a text editor, like Word, you can edit it like any other text.

Creating a bibliography

  1. In RefWorks go to the folder that has all the references you need.
  2. If you wish to include only a part of the references in the bibliography, select the references you want by checking the boxes next to the references. If you wish to include every reference, do not make any selections.
  3. From the top action bar, select " -button and Create bibliography.
  4. A new window will open and the bibliography will be created. If you had selected only a part of the references, you can still change the bibliography to include every reference from the folder by clicking 'All references in (kansio)' from the top of the window.
  5. Copy and paste the bibliography to a text editor of your choice.

Notice! A bibliography created this way doesn't update automatically. If you later add any citations to your text you'll have to create a new bibliography to include the later additions.
