Installing Save to RefWorks and RefWorks Citation Manager

RefWorks Citation Manager gives you access to your RefWorks library while you are working in Microsoft Word, allowing you to add citations to your reports, assignments and research documents.

Save to RefWorks allows you to capture bibliographic information from web pages and import this into your RefWorks library.

Students will need to install these applications on a home PC or laptop as they are not available on student access computers.

Staff members or researchers wishing to use these applications from a University computer should contact Digital Solutions to request installation.
