Legacy RefWorks

Your RefWorks account comes with 3 folders already set up:

Last Imported contains the references from your most recent import. When your import is complete you can view your imported references by clicking on the "View Last Imported Folder" button.

These references are automatically replaced the next time you import references.

You can also find this folder by clicking on Last Imported on the right hand column under Folders.

References Not in Folder contain all the references that have not been designated a folder.

You can also find this folder by clicking on Not in Folder on the right hand column under Folders.

Deleted References contain references that you have deleted. References in this folder will be automatically and permanently deleted after 30 days. Note: You can un-delete references in this folder. Any un-deleted references will be restored with any folder information, attachments, etc.

You can find this folder by clicking on the View tab located in the toolbar near the top of the page.

Using folders in RefWorks allows you to organize your references.
