News about RefWorks

New APA 6th style is now available in RefWorks. However the RefWorks Style Editor cannot accommodate the way authors are to be listed in the text and in the reference list: for seven or more authors, list only seven authors - the first six, ellipses added after the sixth, and the last author added at the end.

The new RefWorks APA 6th style lists all authors and requires the user to manually remove the extra authors and add the ellipses. RefWorks is modifing their Output Style Editor. Watch for updates.

Configure your Write-N-Cite utility for on-campus and off-campus use. Access (both on-campus and off-campus) to all licensed resources will soon be routed through our ezproxy server, and eventually you will need the proxy configuration to access your RefWorks account through your Write-N-Cite utility.

RefMobile allows you to access and view your RefWorks account with your mobile phone, smart phone, or PDA. See our RefMobile help for details.
