Reference management tools

RefWorks is a tool for source reference, just like EndNote. With it you can collect and organise scholarly articles. Also you can generate a list of source references with it, in a citation style of your choice. The big difference with EndNote is that RefWorks is completely cloud based. This means you won't have any synchronisation problems when you work on your thesis at different locations. Also it's easier to use.

Account activation

Go to the RefWorks subscription page 

1. Enter your Rotterdam University e-mailadres (*******@hr.nl). No private e-mail addresses!
2. You will receive an e-mail to activate your account.

Installing "Save to RefWorks" and Write-N-Cite

After you created an account, you can install two extra's via the Tools menu:

• A Save to RefWorks button for your browser. When you've found an article on a website, you click this link and it's automatically added to your RefWorks library.
• A Write-N-Cite add-on for Word (Windows and macOS) and Google Docs. With this you can add references to your thesis and make a source reference list in a citation style of your choice. Please note: it's not possible (yet) to install this add-on on Rotterdam University computers. Just on your laptop or workplace at home.

Settings

In the RefWorks settings you can optionally link your Dropbox account for extra storage.
