Cite Your References in Your Word Processor

If you use Microsoft Word you'll love the tools RefWorks provides you. It's a plugin that allows you to quickly insert and edit citations, adding them to your bibliography as you go.

Use Google Docs to write? Our add-on allows you to insert and edit citations from your RefWorks library while you're working in Docs. It even adds your bibliography for you!

To download this tool, select your name in the upper right-hand corner of your RefWorks account followed by "Tools." Scroll down to the "Cite References in Your Word Processor" section. Follow the directions for the word processor that you utilize.
