Citation Management Tools

Last November, it was announced that support for the Write-N-Cite (WnC) writing tool add-in for Microsoft Word will be ending. By the end of 2024 all users should upgrade to RefWorks Citation Manger (RCM) add-in. Starting in April, 2024 users will no longer be able to access WnC installer download page on RefWorks.

Write-N-Cite (WNC) is an add-on for Microsoft Word that enables you to run a simplified version of RefWorks inside of Word. Write-n-Cite enables you to access and cite your references while working in Word, even if you are currently offline.
