RefWorks : Login to RefWorks

An essential tool for managing your research projects.

What is RefWorks?

Please note: Lilly Library's subscription to RefWorks will end in December 2021. If you are beginning to use a citation manager, please use Zotero instead. Our guide includes instructions for transitioning your references from RefWorks to Zotero.

Old and New RefWorks Logos

In 2016, a new version of RefWorks was launched and the old "Legacy" version was phased out. You can import your folders and citations from the Legacy version with the following steps (This will not delete anything from your old account).

1) After creating a RefWorks account with the newest version, click + ADD in the top toolbar and choose IMPORT REFERENCES. 

2) Under IMPORT FROM ANOTHER REFERENCE MANAGER, click LEGACY REFWORKS. You will then be asked to authorize the import request and prompted to login to your old Legacy RefWorks account.
