Citing references held in RefWorks: if you are using Office 365 or Word 2016 and above provided by the University, or have obtained Office 365 from other sources use RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) .
RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) is an 'add-in' tool for Microsoft Word which enables you to cite references from RefWorks directly into your Word document as you write it. You can use your chosen referencing style and create your bibliography. RCM is compatible with Word in Office 365, Word 2016 or later, in Windows and MAC. See Finding the Right Writing Tool Add-on to check which writing tool is best for your operating system and version of Microsoft Word.
TIP: RCM may work better if you switch from Online version of Word to the Desktop app.
