RefWorks and reference management

If you are using Microsoft Word, or other word processing software, to write your documents, RefWorks offers an add-in called RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) that you can use to link Word to your RefWorks account. RCM allows you to:

• View and insert your previous collated references into your documents, using your preferred citation style
• Add citations within the body of the text
• Add an entire bibliography
• Bulk switch and format the citations you add to your text
• Sync new additions to your RefWorks account with your document

RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) is now replacing Write-N-Cite, which will be discontinued in April 2025. Write-N-Cite users should follow instructions here to migrate their content to RCM.

RCM is replacing Write-N-Cite. Write-N-Cite is being officially discontinued in April 2025. From April 2024, it will no longer be possible to install Write-N-Cite. See instructions here on how to migrate to RCM from Write-N-Cite.

RCM can be downloaded from the Microsoft App Store.
