Alternatives to using Write-N-Cite

The current version of Write-N-Cite does not work with Windows Vista.

A compatible version is in development but in the meantime, if you are using Vista you should use RefWorks following this procedure:

Inserting references

  • Log in to your RefWorks account as normal, using your web browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox).
  • View your references by clicking View then All References or you can select a specific folder to view only those references.
  • Under the option Switch to: select One line/Cite view.
  • To insert a specific reference, find it in the list and click Cite.
  • A Citation Viewer window appears with your reference enclosed in curly brackets.
  • Click Select Citation
  • Press Ctrl and C on the keyboard (or select Edit from the menu bar, followed by Copy).
  • Click the Clear button.
  • Within Word (or the word processing system you are using) open the document into which you want to insert the reference.
  • Place the cursor where you want the reference to be added and press Ctrl and V on the keyboard (or Edit from the menu bar followed by Paste).
  • Repeat the above steps as necessary for each reference.

Formatting your bibliography

Once you have inserted your references into your document, you will need to create your bibliography in the following way:

  • Within RefWorks, click on Bibliography.
  • Select the required output style (e.g. Harvard).
  • Select the option Format paper and bibliography.
  • Under Document to format, click on the Browse button.
  • Locate your document and double click it to select it.
  • Click on the Create Bibliography button.
