Write-N-Cite

To place references in a paper using Write-N-Cite :

  1. Open your Word document.
  2. Click on Write-N-Cite in the Word toolbar.
  3. Login to RefWorks if you have not already done so.
  4. Place your cursor where the reference should be inserted. (If you want the citation to appear in a footnote or endnote rather than in-text, create the footnote number in Word by selecting Insert/Reference/Footnote or .../Endnote . Then place your cursor just to the right of the number.)
  5. In the Write-N-Cite window, click on Cite next to the desired citation. The citation will be inserted in your paper within double brackets. The number to the left of the author's name is the reference number (Ref ID) RefWorks uses to identify this citation within your RefWorks account.


    To cite a particular page in the source,
  6. Click on/place your cursor within the double brackets of the citation placeholder. The Edit Citation link will display in the upper right of the Write-N-Cite window.
  7. Click on Edit Citation link. Insert page number in Specific Page box and click Save to Word button.
  8. Specifying the page number as 23, the citation placeholder becomes {{67 Valberg, Jerry. 1999 /s23;}}. RefWorks adds coding (/s23 in this case), so RefWorks knows how to format the citation.
  9. Save your document.

    When you are ready to create your bibliography:
  10. Click on Bibliography in the Write-N-Cite window.
  11. Choose the desired Output Style. (If your paper includes citations within footnotes/endnotes, choose a pre-designed notes output style: Chicago Notes and Turabian Notes. If you wish to use another Output Style, either correct individual notes or use the Output Style editor and create a new Output Style for notes to your specifications.)
  12. Click Create Bibliography.
  13. To see formatted footnotes in Word, change your Word document to Print Layout under View . You do not need to view Print Layout if you just want to see the formatted in-text/list of references.
  14. Save your document. Write-N-Cite will automatically create a new Word document with Final in the file name. If you need to revise your document, add more references, etc., be sure to do so in the original document (not the Final document).

Both Notes and Bibliography will be formatted according to the Output Style you selected.
ALWAYS check your bibliography and in-text citations for accuracy.
