RefMe Changing

If you would like to register to use the new version of RefWorks:

• Go to: https://refworks.proquest.com/
• Click on 'Create account'
• Enter your university email address ending with one of the following
  • my.shu.ac.uk
  • student.shu.ac.uk
  • shu.ac.uk
• Your email address should be accepted by RefWorks and you will see this 'Good news!' message with a prompt to choose a password.
  NOTE: If you use Legacy RefWorks, please do not use the same password for New RefWorks.  This will cause issues if you want to use Write-n-Cite with both versions.
• Once you have chosen a password, you will receive an email including a link that you need to follow in order to confirm your account and complete your profile details

You can use New RefWorks to create a reference list in the APA 6th edition referencing style.

When you use the 'Create bibliography' function, the 'Quick cite' function or Write-n-Cite to create references, choose the 'APA 6th - American Psychological Association', 6th Edition option

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR REFERENCES - the software is unlikely to produce perfect results and it is your responsibility to check that your references are accurate and complete.
