This FAQ is about the most recent version of RefWorks, released to Quinnipiac in 2020. If you are currently using the Legacy (Orange) version of RefWorks, it is no longer supported. Please migrate to the newer, more full-featured version

 

1. Login to your RefWorks account. 

2. Click the + Add button (plus sign at the top left). Select Create New Reference.

 

 

3. A panel will open on the right. Select the reference type that suits your needs. The available fields will change depending on your selection. The example below uses Journal Article as the reference type.

 

 

4. Enter the title of the reference. To the right of the box, select the blue Locate button title_locate.png. RefWorks will display possible matches at the bottom of the pane. If you select one, RefWorks will autofill the bibliographic information. You can also use the locate button with a DOI. 

 

 

Alternatively, you may manually add the required bibliographic information.

Regardless of the method you choose, be sure to verify that the information is correct and contains the fields needed for your preferred citation format.  See the AMA guide OR APA guide for guidance. Check dates, editions (if the reference is a book), volume & issue numbers (if it is a journal article), and URLs. 

 

5. You may select Add More Fields to add additional fields to the reference. 

 

6. When you are done, click Save in the bottom bar of the editing pane to complete the process.
