Move from Refworks to Zotero

There are two ways to move data from RefWorks into Zotero:

When you add files to Zotero, it will automatically extract citations and attach files. This method won't preserve RefWorks folders; you'll have to create new Zotero collections and manually organize the sources.

Download from Refworks by either:
1. Downloading each .pdf from Refworks, OR
2. Connecting Refworks to a Dropbox account
  1. Log into Refworks
  2. Click on your name (top right)
  3. Choose Settings
  4. Scroll down the Settings page to Dropbox
  5. Log in or sign up for a Dropbox account
  6. Once linked, your PDF files should appear in the designated Dropbox folder
Add the downloaded files to zotero by either:
- Drag your RefWorks PDFs into Zotero, or
- Choosing File >Add Attachment >Add File

Export citations from RefWorks as a BibTeX or RIS file. Attached PDFs will not be exported.
