How can I insert citations from PQ RefWorks into my MS WORD Document

RCM syncs with your UNIC RefWorks account so you can quickly access your reference list to add in-text citations while you write & create the corresponding reference list at the end of your paper. It is advisable to gather your references in RW before you begin to write.

Note that when you are signed in to your UNIC Office 365 account,  you will find RCM already installed in the MSWord app that is included in the 365 package.
