Introduction to RefWorks

Entering References Manually

How do you import existing references into RefWorks ?

To import existing references from a known source, you can either search for them in a database and import them into RefWorks directly (discussed in the next section) or you can enter them manually.

To manually enter a reference:

  1. From the top tool bar, select Reference > Add New Reference

  2. Select the folder to add the reference to, if any.

  3. Select the type of material/reference you are adding
  4. Add all the information you have access to. If you have selected a citation style, the star beside a field indicates that this is a required field
  5. When you are finished, select Save Reference

Test Yourself!
