RefWorks tips & tricks

This is how to get started with using Write-N-Cite on the University desktop (when using an on-campus computer at the University of Lincoln):

• Go to the ‘Start’ menu, and then ‘All Programs’.
• Look for a folder called ‘Research Software’. Within that folder, you should see the icon to launch Write-N-Cite.
• You should notice that when Write-N-Cite launches, it also starts up Microsoft Word in the background.
• The first thing you need to do is log in to Write-N-Cite. To do this, click on the ‘Athens users’ link, and then on: ‘Go to the University of Lincoln login page’.
• After a couple of seconds, you should see – within Write-N-Cite – a cut-down version of your RefWorks account.
• Next: in the top-left-hand corner of Write-N-Cite, tick the ‘Always on top’ tick box, it’ll mean that Write-N-Cite doesn’t disappear into the background when you start working on Microsoft Word.
• Now, all you need to do is create a new document in Word; save it to your H: drive.
• Now you’re ready to start using Write-N-Cite to create a formatted bibliography within a Microsoft Word document.
