RefWorks has a browser tool called Save to RefWorks. Save to RefWorks takes information from almost any web page and adds it to your RefWorks library. Please note that Save to RefWorks does not work well on websites with embedded ads.
The tool is not perfect and missing fields should be manually filled before saving the reference to RefWorks. Furthermore, it is necessary to review the information in each field to confirm that it is correct. Refer to the citation style of your choice to determine which fields need to be populated.
Adding 'Save to RefWorks' to your Browser
1. Login into your RefWorks account.
2. Click on the Tools tab from the top tool bar and select Tools from the menu.
3. From the available options, click the blue button that says Install Save to RefWorks.
4. Make sure your browser's bookmarks/favorites bar is visible. Every browser has a different method for this, but it is usually done from the View menu.
5. Drag the Save to RefWorks button to your browser's Bookmarks/Favorites bar (following the instructions on the page).
6. Once you’ve installed the button, go to any web page and click the Save to RefWorks button from your bookmark bar to capture the information. A RefWorks box will appear on the right side of the page. This box contains the web page's relevant bibliographic information.
7. Review the information. Be sure the Type of Reference is listed as web page. Make any necessary edits prior to importing the reference into RefWorks.
8. Click Save to RefWorks in the bottom right corner of the RefWorks bar.
9. Select the project to which you wish to add this reference. If you only have one project in your RefWorks account, this can be ignored. You may also assign the reference to a specific folder within your project. If you do not, it will send the reference to the Not in Folder folder by default.
10. Click Import to finish the process.
