How do I download an RIS file in the Catalog to upload into RefWorks?

Answer

First, click the Cite button in the record:

 

Then, click Export to RIS:

 

This will download a .ris file to your computer.

 

Now log in to your RefWorks account: https://refworks.proquest.com/ 

From here you can either drag the downloaded file if still at the bottom of your browser. Or you can click on + Add in the RefWorks menu. Then choose Import References. 

 

If you choose Import Reference, scroll down to Import from a file and upload the .ris file:

You may be asked to confirm the file format. Click Import:

 

And voila! You may be prompted to choose the option of importing this citation into a folder, but otherwise, you are done!
