Cite Feature & Exporting to RefWorks

You can click on the quotation marks underneath a search result to review the citation format of a resource.

A new window will display various citation output styles, including APA. You can also export the citation information to RefWorks using the link provided in the window.

NOTE: It is extremely important to check the article citation for proper APA Style, as database citation tools are subject to error. The Academic Success Center provides access to Academic Writer, which provides over 150 sample references, as well as nearly 10 sample papers. It also incorporates all of the references and other content from the Publication Manual.

2. After clicking on Settings, refer to the Search results section, and under Bibliography manager, select the radio button to Show links to import citations into. Set the chosen reference management software to RefWorks using the dropdown and click Save.
