Outline• Web-based reference management service used for storing,
organizing and searching your references
• Create a personal database accessible from any computer linked to the Internet without having to download or install special software
• use Write-N-Cite together with Wordprocessor to automatically insert in-text citations into documents and create bibliographies in the citation style of your choice*
*When you are in Write-N-Cite you can work offline to overcome the frustration of response time lags
• Import bibliographies from Mendeley to Refworks
• UCT staff and students may use RefWorks on campus and also off-campus (by logging in via EZProxy)

Cautions!
• Response time is slow• Export is reference by reference• Default is journal article – if you are exporting a
book/book chapter you have to edit the reference
• Only the first page of the reference is entered- you have to enter the last page
• Typos are transferred into your DB
• NB Rubbish In – Rubbish Out
• Run your search profile• Mark any references you want to import
• Click on marked list• Save in other reference software
• Import to RefWorks
Exporting to RefWorks from Web of Knowledge
Import to RefWorks
Import .txt or .doc files to RefWorks
• Format your file according to the requirement of RefWorks
Export bibliography from Mendeley
• Mendeley does not have a suitable range of bibliographic styles• In order to export from Mendeley, create a collection to hold the
references you wish to export• In RefWorks create a folder in which you wish to import the
bibliography
Create Collection in MendeleyClick on Create Collection, this will highlight the words Untitled Collection. Type the name of your collection in this space, e.g. ConsBiol Paper
Create Collection in Mendeley
• Swich database view to All Documents
• Drag & drop the papers you need into the ConsBiol Paper collection
Exporting your collection• Highlight all the papers in your ConsBiol Paper Collection• Click on Export – you will see that three versions are offered, we are using BibTex• Give your export file a name and save to a folder on your PC
Import BibTex file into Refworks

Import BibTex file into Refworks
• Click on drop down menu next to Import Filter/Data Source

Import BibTex file into Refworks• Click on drop down menu next to Database and chose one of the DBs which
has BibTex as an output format e.g. ACM Digital Library• Specify folder ConsBiol• Navigate to your .bib file which you exported from Mendeley• Click on Import
View Imported References
• Click on your ConsBiol folder to check your imported references – there will be checking to do! Click on edit to the top right of each reference
• To make this easier I suggest that you open Mendeley & RefWorks side by side – you can even cut and paste from your pdf in Mendeley

Biology• Click on Bibliography• Change Output Style to Conservation Biology• Find the document you are working with• Change File Type to Create to the word processing package you are using• Specify the folder your references are in• Click on Create Bibliography• NB you should have a valid document which is already populated with the
citations from Mendeley
