Creating Bibliographies with RefWorks

Creating Bibliographies with RefWorks

One you have citations imported into your RefWorks database, you can then create a bibliography in the citation style of your choice (APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, etc.).

Creating a bibliography is easy using RefWorks.

  1. Open your RefWorks account.
  2. Select "Bibliography".
  3. Select an "Output Style".
    RefWorks includes hundreds of output styles. The most popular citation styles (APA, MLA, Turabian, Chicago, Turabian, and the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals) are listed under "University of Chicago Specific". Additional styles can be found by accessing the Output Style Manager. Once you select a style from this list, it will appear at the top under "Favorites".
  4. Under "Format a Bibliography from a List of References", select the type of file you'd like to create.
    You can create a bibliography in HTML, MS Word for Windows and Mac, RTF, and Open Office format.
  5. Select what references you'd like included in your bibligraphy.
    You can use your whole database, a list you've selected, or select a specific folder (recommended).
  6. Click "Create Bibliography".

That's it! RefWorks will open a new document which will contain your formatted bibliography.
