In-text citations: with and without Write-n-Cite

There are several ways of making in-text citations in a word-document:

• Online – with Write-n-Cite
• Offline - with Write-n-Cite: don’t forget to download your database first while you’re online!
• Online – with the One line/Cite View in your RefWorks-account
• Offline – with a downloaded list from RefWorks with numbers

More information is available in our online RefWorks course: click here

When you add in-text citations with and without Write-n-Cite in one document, you will see that Write-n-Cite doesn’t recognize the citations made with One Line/Cite View or the downloaded list of numbers. When you format your document with Write-n-Cite, these citations aren’t formatted. There is a work-around:

1. Save the original document first!
2. In Write-n-Cite: go to Tools > Remove Field Codes (all citations will look like {{number, author, year}} again, but the connection with Write-n-Cite is removed)
3. Save this document with a new name
4. Go to your RefWorks account
5. Go to Bibliography
6. Choose your Output Style
7. Mark Format Paper and Bibliography and browse to the saved document
8. Click Create Bibliography
