is an online tool that lets you create your own individual account and store an unlimited number of citations that you retrieve when doing your research.

Later, when you are writing your paper, you can use RefWorks to insert citations wherever you need them. RefWorks can then create and properly format your bibliography for you in whatever style your instructor prefers.

Write-N-Cite is compatible with Office 2007, as long as the user selects the Word 97-2003 format (*.doc) instead of the Word 2007 (*.docx) format in which to save their documents. This is known as "compatibility mode" in Word 2007.

Due to the increased internet security in Windows Vista, there have been reports of problems submitting a document for bibliographic formatting. The work around is to submit the document from your RefWorks browser session instead of Write-N-Cite. If you need assistance please call the library at 832-2250 or send us an email from our Ask a Librarian webpage.
