RefWorks: New Developments

RefWorks has just released three new features:

1. Write-N-Cite III for Windows with Offline Capabilities
RefWorks is pleased to inform you that Write-N-Cite III for Windows is now available for downloading. This optional plug-in provides you with single document formatting (and unformatting) as well as the ability to write and format a paper completely offline! Simply
* download your RefWorks database from within Write-N-Cite while online, then
* feel free to disconnect from the internet
Full Write-N-Cite functionality is available – inserting temporary citation placeholders, viewing reference information, using the citation editor – even formatting your paper in the output style you choose. All without accessing the internet.
Download the new Write-N-Cite III for Windows from within your RefWorks account by selecting:
* Tools,
* Write-N-Cite.
(Current WNC for Windows users can use WNC III on old documents, however, the documents must be converted to a WNC III format which can be done within WNC III.)
