I'm adding a new reference to RefWorks manually. How do I know which fields are required?

Answer

You can manually add citations in "Legacy" RefWorks and "New" RefWorks. 

"New" RefWorks

See the Adding Citations Manually in New RefWorks box of our New RefWorks Library Guide for information. 

"Legacy" RefWorks

To find out which fields are required (or recommended) to have information when entering a reference manually, you must first select a "formatting style" from the View Fields Used By drop-down menu at the top of the Add New Reference window. All required (or recommended) fields will appear in the window, with the option to view additional fields below.

Add New Reference screen. Select a formatting style to see required fields.

If you are still using "Legacy" RefWorks, you may want to consider migrating at a time convenient for you. You can find more information about migrating in our RefWorks Migration Library Guide.
