RefWorks Tools

The Tools tab on the top RefWorks tool bar provides access to these functions. 

Find duplicates -  search for duplicate references throughout your entire RefWorks database; choose to search for either "exact match" or "close match." Since Cook Children's does not have access to Legacy RefWorks, you probably will not need this option. You can start from within a folder to find duplicate references just within that folder - or click on the "more options" symbol at the end of the folder title in the left-hand tool bar to search for duplicates within that folder.

Install Save to RefWorks - installing this feature in the Favorites Bar of your browser will allow you to add references and full text to your RefWorks database from PDFs and other material from websites you visit.

Bulk Edit - this provides the ability to add, delete, or replace a text string within a specific field for every reference in which that string appears for many records at the same time.

Use RefWorks Citation Manager - this feature is an add-in to MS Word on your computer. It allows you to place references in your manuscripts, and then automatically format those references in the right format (e.g., APA, AMA, or a specific journal citation format) and create a bibliography or reference list for your manuscript in the same format.

There are known functional incompatibilities with desktop Word 2016 and RefWorks. Cook IS teams are currently working to deploy Office 365. At this time, we do not have an ETA on the deployment of Office 365. The following is a work around.
