What is RefWorks?

RefWorks is a web-based tool that allows you to easily collect and organize citations, format papers, and create bibliographies. Download records directly from the Library's electronic resources into your personal RefWorks database or enter citations manually. Then use RefWork's Write-n-Cite feature to insert citations into your paper as you write it.

Getting Started

Creating an Individual RefWorks Account

The first time you use RefWorks, you will need to Sign Up for an Individual Account. Create a username and password to enter when accessing your personal RefWorks database.

To create a RefWorks account from off-campus, you must first log onto the UR network through VPN (cable/DSL) or the modem pool (dial-up). After you are logged in, you can sign up for an individual account using the link provided above.

Logging on to RefWorks

On Campus: To get to RefWorks, use the link provided at the top of this page. Enter the log-in name and password for your individual account to access your personal database. You can also find a link to RefWorks on the Online Databases page.

Off Campus: After you have created your account, you can log on from off campus without connecting through the VPN or modem pool. However, you will be asked to enter the GROUP CODE for the University of Richmond. The code is included in the confirmation e-mail that you received after creating your individual RefWorks account.
