Copy records from one RefWorks account to another
If you have records in your personal RefWorks account and want to copy them to another account (for instance, a shared account for your class), you can export references from the first account and import them into the second.
To export references
- Log into your RefWorks account.
- Select random references to export and add them to My List (alternatively, if your references are already in a folder or you want to export your entire database, you can skip this step).
- Select References, Export.
- Choose All References, My List or a specific Folder to export.
- Select RefWorks Tagged Format and click Export to Text File.
- You will be prompted to save a .txt file to your computer.
To import references in RefWorks Tagged Format
- Log into your RefWorks account.
- Select References, Import.
- Select RefWorks Tagged Format as the data source.
- Click the Browse button and locate the .txt file you wish to import.
- Click Import
- The references will appear in the Last Imported Folder
