RefWorks maintenance window Sunday 28th January 3am-11am

RefWorks have announced a maintenance window, Sunday 28th January 3am-11am. During this time the RefWorks sites (old and new) will be offline.

RefWorks have given the following instruction to help you to continue using Write-n-Cite during this period:


Working Offline

Users will still be able to work offline during this planned maintenance window. Below are instructions for how to sync your RefWorks database. When RefWorks comes back online all of your files will automatically be synced with your personal database.

Sync My Database

Each time you launch Write-N-Cite, it will download any new or edited references and output styles.  Should you add data to your RefWorks account while you are working on a paper, your changes will become available as you work.  If you feel that your changes haven’t yet arrived you may wish to request that Write-N-Cite syncs with your RefWorks database.


To sync your database:

1. Click the RefWorks tab from the Word ribbon.

2. Click Sync My Database.
