Urgent: Upgrade from Legacy RefWorks to the New Version

Legacy RefWorks will stop working at the end of June. If you are using Legacy RefWorks you will see an “Upgrade to the Latest RefWorks version” button and we strongly advise you upgrade soon to avoid last minute problems. Before you press the button see our guidance and important considerations prior to upgrading.

If your usual RefWorks login takes you to https://refworks.proquest.com/ you are already using the latest version of RefWorks and no further action is needed.

It is possible to upgrade documents created with legacy RefWorks and Write-N-Cite but if there is time we recommend you delay a little until:

  • You have completed any work for a close deadline.
  • You have completed any Word documents linked to legacy RefWorks using Write-N-Cite.

Consult your Academic Liaison Librarian for guidance if you are working on a thesis, dissertation or other large piece of work beyond end June.

You will find help, guides and videos about using new RefWorks and the associated new add-in for Word called RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) at https://libguides.stir.ac.uk/newrefworks or contact the Library if you need help or have questions.
