Web of Science Now has Direct Export to RefWorks

Western Michigan University of Web of Science now can directly export citations from Web of Science to RefWorks, a citation management software.

A "Save to RefWorks" button (right) now appears on the search results page for users of the WMU subscription to Web of Science. The University Libraries asked that Thomson Reuters add the button to WMU's Web of Science interface, since the button will be added only if an institution specifically requests it.

With the new button, users now can export citations into RefWorks with one mouse click instead of several, separate steps.

What is RefWorks? It is a software -- available for free to all faculty, staff, and students at Western Michigan University -- that allows users to store and organize citations, store PDFs of articles and other works, and easily create formatted bibliographies.

How do you access it? There's a link to RefWorks from the Libraries web site -- go the the "R" page of Library databases, and scroll down the alphabetical list to "RefWorks" and click the RefWorks link.

For more info on how to use RefWorks, see our page of RefWorks screen cast tutorials, or contact me.
