RefWorks

RefWorks is a web-based citation manager you can use wherever you have an internet connection. It gives you an online workspace to save citations you find while doing research. RefWorks also provides users with tools that you can use to format papers.

What are tags?

Tags in RefWorks describe the reference/citation. The tags are automatically supplied by the author or publisher when you save to RefWorks. However, you can add your own or edit tags manually. 

Adding a tag to a reference

1. Select the reference you wish to add a tag to. This will open the reference on the right hand side of your screen. Next, click on the pencil icon to edit the reference. 
 


 

2. Locate the tags section of the reference and click on add tag. Once you are done inputting your tag, hit enter on your keyboard. You will repeat this process for each tag. Once you are finished adding tags, click on save
