Effectively organizing your references in RefWorks enables you to store and manage citations for various assignments and projects.

Tag References

Tags are customizable labels you can use to organize your references. You can add multiple tags to a single reference. In some cases, tags will be created automatically when references are uploaded to RefWorks.

  1. Check the box(es) for one or more references
  2. Click on the ‘Add Tags’ icon () on the top menu bar
  3. You can search and select existing tags, or type to create a new tag, then press Save
Export an item

Assign References to a Folder

Assign references to a newly created folder

  1. Check the box(es) for one or more references
  2. Click on the 'Assign' () icon
  3. Select 'Create Folder' . If necessary, you can make the new folder a subfolder of an existing one.
  4. Press 'Create Folder'

Create a folder first, and then add references to it

  1. Click on 'My Folders' , then select 'Add Folder'
  2. Name the folder, and click 'Save'
