Using RefWorks for Google Docs

To insert an inline citation:

Select the reference and select Cite this. When you do, two things are added to your document:

  • An inline citation
  • A bibliography at the end of the document. If a bibliography already exists, the reference is added to it.

If you delete a citation, select Update document from the configuration menu to update the bibliography.

To configure the citation before inserting it:

  1. Select the reference and select Edit and Cite. The Edit Citation pane appears.

  2. Optionally configure the citation style, and whether to add page numbers, hide the author, or hide the publication year. A preview of the citation and the bibliography entry appears.
  3. Select Insert.
