If you are new to RefWorks or Write-n-Cite, do this first (add account
and install, respectively). To add new citations to our shared
databases Metshare and POshare, go
here for instructions.
-----------------------------
To write and cite in Word, just
start Write-n-Cite (it will prompt for your login, and then it will
start Word
automatically). Now open your document from there and you are rolling.
-----------------------------
To cite a paper while writing in Word, just click the "Cite"
link on the
Write-n-Cite window. A citation thing (a bundle of coded text) will
appear at the cursor position in the
Word document. Don't edit this coded text. The "View" link by each
paper
on the
Write-n-Cite window can
show you more detail (including the abstract) to be sure the paper is
the right one. You can
sort and search your RefWorks collection various ways.
Under the View menu at top of Write-n-Cite window, you will see RefWorks Shared Area. This will open
a browser window where you can find the Metshare and POshare databases.
It appears to me you have to Export papers from these shared databases
to your personal database for use in Write-n-Cite, let me know if you
find a way to cite from them directly.
-------------------------------
To finally format your document +
bibliography,
click Bibliography in the Write-n-Cite menu. A new Word document will
be created, called Final_mypaper.doc
(if your mother file is called mypaper.doc).
It
will have inline citations and a Bibliography appended at the end
of
the document, both in the Style you choose (AMS and JGR styles are
available, or Nature or Science
for you high rollers!).
