    Adding References into RefWorks

    There are several ways to add references (citations) into RefWorks. You can manually add references of any type into RefWorks, add MNCAT references into RefWorks, or you can add references from many online library databases. Below, there are a few basic ways of getting references into RefWorks. More advanced methods are available in the section: Writing Your Bibliography with RefWorks: Advanced.

    • Manually Creating a New Reference of Any Type

      1. Select New Reference.
      2. From the drop-down In Folders menu, select your folder.
      3. From the drop-down Ref Types menu, choose the appropriate publication type.
      4. Enter the information from your reference in the fields.
