Collecting Citations
Basic procedure to import citations into RefWorks is:
• do a search on your topic using the Library Catalogue and/or the
online databases, select the relevant citations and import them into
RefWorks
• There are various ways of importing information into RefWorks:
– Most databases allow you to directly import the citations into
RefWorks (Ebsco-host, Sabinet, ProQuest etc)
– Library Catalogue requires that you create a text file of
citations, then you will have to import that file into RefWorks
using database filters. (Innovative Interfaces)
– You may also manually add references to RefWorks (where
references are not available electronically)
– Import from websites (Google) – (a set up needed on Google
Scholar under preferences)
