RefWorks

RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) is a plugin for Microsoft Word that lets you run a simplified version of RefWorks inside Word.  RCM is a newer, more modern version of Write-N-Cite. It features:

• Read-only access to your RefWorks account, enabling you to view and insert your previously collated references into your document, formatted using previously defined citation styles.
• You can add inline citations. Adding a citation also adds a bibliography to the end of the document. As you add or remove references, the plugin automatically updates the bibliography.
• Every time you log into RCM, it automatically synchronizes with your RefWorks account.

NOTE: Windows users of Microsoft Office 2016 users can choose whether to use Write-N-Cite or RCM. Mac users of Microsoft Office 2016 must use RCM.
