RefWorks

Learn to use RefWorks for citation management

Folders

Folders are a system used to organize your process within RefWorks and Folders & subfolders are easy to create!

Consider creating not only topic based folders, but also folders for your process. Here are some examples:

  • ILLiad (to keep track of articles requested through ILL)
  • Full text (for those already in Full text or after they arrive from ILLiad)
  • Read
  • Not needed (articles not relevant but might come in handy later)

Folders versus Projects

Unlike folders, e​​​very project is like a completely separate instance of Refworks, which means:

  • Each project will have its own set of references, folders, etc. 
  • When you search references you will only find those particular to the project you have open
  • You cannot easily move references between projects
  • When you use Reference Citation Manager, you can only use the references from within a single project
