Penn State has purchased RefWorks, a citation software and bibliographic management tool with some features similar to EndNote or Zotero. It is Web-based and can be used from any location.

Penn State RefWorks help is available via our ASK! service.
Log in to RefWorks.

Please register to use RefWorks for the first time. Enter your name, email address, type of user, and area of focus. Enter the code displayed on your screen.

NOTE: After your initial log in to RefWorks, you will always need to use your Penn State Access ID and Password to access RefWorks.

Create a folder for your class.

  • Click on "Folders" in the RefWorks toolbar and then "Create New Folder."
  • Type the name of the folder you would like to create. Consider using the name of a current class or assignment. Click OK.

RefWorks help guides:

You can import records directly into RefWorks from ProQuest, Ovid, and CSA databases, Google Scholar, and many more — see the whole list here.

RefWorks supports more than 600 import filters, allowing you to export citations from databases not allowing direct export.

Write-N-Cite

Write-N-Cite allows you to easily cite references and create formatted bibliographies connected to a Word document. More information and help documentation for using Write-N-Cite is available from RefWorks here.

To access Write-N-Cite (from on- or off-campus locations):

  • Download and install Write-N-Cite on your computer.
  • Open Write-N-Cite. If Word is not already open on your computer, Write-N-Cite will start up Word.
    • A login screen will appear. Click on the link to "Shibboleth users" below the login box(es)
    • Select "Penn State" the drop-down menu and click the Login button
    • Log in with your Penn State access id and password.
