Importing from Databases
Most databases provide links to export citations to RefWorks directly. Look for links that say "Cite," "Export," or "Save/Print/Email."
You will be prompted to log in to your RefWorks account each time you export.
If the import has proceeded correctly, the number of references imported will appear on the following screen.
Click on the item if you'd like to edit it. The pencil icon in the upper right allows you to make changes.
Importing from Google Scholar
You must set your Google Scholar preferences to enable links to export to RefWorks. If you are logged in to your Google or Gmail account when you adjust this setting, your preferences will be saved for your next session. If you are not logged in or do not have an account, your preferences will be saved temporarily.
To set your preferences:
- Click on the small gear icon to access Scholar Preferences in the upper right corner of the Google Scholar page.
- Scroll down to the Bibliography Manager options at the bottom.
- Select your preference.
- Click on Save Preferences.
Now, when you search in Google Scholar, you will see a link to export to RefWorks below each result in Google Scholar.
