RefWorks

If you write your papers using Google Docs, there's an add-on that will allow you to insert citations in-text, as well as to create a bibliography.

Any additions, changes, or deletions you make in your RefWorks account are automatically synched with the Google Docs Add-on. Changes are not made to any existing in-text citations or the bibliography in a document.

Installing the Google Docs Add-on for RefWorks

1. Open a blank document and select Add-ons.
2. Click Get Add-ons and search for “ProQuest RefWorks”.  
3. Click on the Free button to add it.

 

 

 

 

You’ll be asked to accept certain conditions of using the add-on:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once you have accepted the conditions, you can start writing your paper.

For step-by-step instructions, visit the RefWorks Knowledgebase.

Collaborating with others

If you are working on a group project, you can share your document with anyone who has a RefWorks account. They will be able to edit and add to the document, as well asadd in-text citations and footnotes from their RefWorks account.  

To share your document with someone who has a RefWorks account:

1. Click the Share button  in the upper right-hand corner. You have several options:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. You can change the access setting if desired (the default setting is “specific people”).

 

The Change link will allow you to modify how your document is shared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Enter the email addresses of the people you wish to share the document with. If they do not have a RefWorks account, they will be asked to create one.

If you have already shared a folder  with them, you will be able to access the same set of references when writing the paper. Anyone you share with can also delete in-text citations you’ve included in your document. They cannot delete references from your RefWorks account.
