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.
