Health Library guide to Referencing & Reference Management

A guide to writing up your assignments & how to create & manage your references in Harvard or Vancouver Style using RefWorks for free at UNic

To keep track of your research, create a RefWorks account  to save article citations from UNIC databases, online journals, Google Scholar, Scopus etc., in one place. Once your citations are saved, you can instantly create your end of paper reference list and you can insert correctly formatted citations into your document as you write.

Free to all students & faculty at UNic, PQ RefWorks is a web-based reference management tool that allows you to:

  • collect, organize, store & share bibliographic references by importing them from web-based data services or our online catalogue or by entering manually
  • insert correctly formatted citations into your paper using Reference Citation Manager (RCM) add-on in Microsoft Word 2016,  or newer versions including Word on Microsoft 365, or, for older versions of MSWord, install Write-N-Cite. 
  • generate your bibliographic reference list automatically in Harvard or Vancouver style...and many other styles as well.

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.
