RefWorks Citation Manager for Word, Google Docs and Hangul

RefWorks has a tool called RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) which enables you to cite references from RefWorks directly into your document as you write it.  It is suitable for Word 2016 and above for both Windows and Mac computers. 

IMPORTANT

RefWorks used to have a tool called Write-N-Cite that could be used with Windows and Mac computers. However, this is no longer available.  If your computer is suitable you may wish to move to RCM for new documents.

WNC was not compatible with Office 365 online.  You must open your document in 'Desktop app' to use WNC or alternatively use RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM).  WNC is not compatible with recent versions of Mac OS. You must use RCM.

Documents created with WNC cannot be modified with RCM.
