In RefWorks you can create a bibliography from a list of references, without creating a document. This reference list may contain your entire database, the references in your My List area or you can select a specific folder from which to create the bibliography.
In the Bibliography area of RefWorks you can generate a reference list in your desired style, using all the references in a particular folder. You can use this to preview your finished list of references, or simply generate a list to copy and paste into your document.
Note: RefWorks will store the last 10 output styles you have used to generate a reference list or bibliography at the top of the output-style drop-down for easy access.
To create a bibliography from a specific folder or the entire database:
Click the Bibliography menu.
Under Output Style, select the appropriate style.
Click Format a Bibliography from a List of References.
Under File Type, select the file format you wish to create (Text, HTML, RTF (Rich Text), Word for Windows (2000 or later, or Word for Mac (98 or later) or OpenOffice (. odt).
Under Include, select All References, My List or References from <folder name>
Click Create Bibliography.
Follow your browser's instructions for viewing the file and be sure to save the document to your hard disk before closing.
Note: When generating a Reference List from the Bibliography area, the final output is sorted based on the output style you have chosen. If the output style is based on the order cited in a document, since there is no document, it defaults to alphabetical by first author.
Email it: After the bibliography is created you may also email the list. The email address in your RefWorks account is automatically entered, but you can overwrite it with another address. Only one email address can be entered.
Print allows you to create a reference list without having to have your references in the same folder. You can preview your list of references or copy and paste them into a document.
Locate your references to print (by Searching within RefWorks or selecting View, All References or View, Folder and a specific folder).
Determine the sort order for your list from the Sort By drop-down.
Select the specific
reference(s) by clicking on the check box to the left of the
Ref ID. You can also select Page or All in List.
Note: If you select individual references to print, they must all be on the same page. This is why you must determine your sort order first. RefWorks displays 25 records per page, so if you need more than 25 selected references to print, you can increase the number displayed per page in the Tools, Customize area.
Once you have identified the records to print and your sort order, click on the Print button located at either the top or bottom of the screen.
Select the appropriate Output Style and click Print.
Follow your browser's instructions for viewing the file and be sure to save the document to your hard disk before closing.
Note: References will print in the sort order determined in your view and will override the output style sort order.
