FAQs

Whether you are working toward your dissertation or a short research paper, managing citations and formatting them for your writing is getting easier all the time. There are several options for you to consider:

• RefWorks: The library has purchased RefWorks so WU faculty, staff, students, and alumni can use it free.
  Exporting references from MathSciNet into RefWorks
  Exporting references from Springerlink into RefWorks
  Exporting references from Web of Science into RefWorks [This probably works for INSPEC also but I haven't checked yet]
  Arxiv: Refgrab-it tool in RefWorks looks like it might work for saving and managing Arxiv references; also saving to a social bookmarking site like Connotea or Citeulike and then importing into RefWorks would proably work. I will report more after I've had a chance to check.
  Converting References from Other Software Programs (to RefWorks) | in RefWorks, the Tools tab offers an Import Endnote V8+ Database option

• EndNote Web: This is another free tool available; many science researchers use EndNote. Although the free tool is less powerful, there is easy transition between the two products. EndNote Web and EndNote work well with the major databases and citation styles.
• EndNote: This is a commercial product which is being used by many researchers. The library does not support this product but we are happy to help find the appropriate connection files and import filters as needed. Becker Medical Library often offers a basic EndNote class; see Computer Courses Calendar. There are also usually several tutorials and webinars on the EndNote web site. More info
• Reference Manager and ProCite are other popular commercial products.
• Various bookmarking/tagging services may also be worth exploring depending on what you want to do. For example:
  • Connotea
  • CiteULike
  • 2collab
  • Zotero
  • del.icio.us
  Caution: links to electronic citations may not work well for sharing with folks at other institutions, unless they also have libraries with institutional subscriptions to the resource. Also, you may need to edit the WU proxy prepend [http://libproxy.wustl.edu/login?url=] off the start of your links if you want to share them outside of WU. Please ask Ruth if you have questions about this.
