NOTE about Write 'n' Cite (WnC):
--Starting in April, users will no longer be able to access the WnC installer download page on RefWorks
--
By April 2025 at the latest, all users should have upgraded to the RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) add-in
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write-N-Cite and Refworks Citation Manager both let you run a simplified version of Refworks inside Microsoft Word, so that you can create a bibliography (reference list).
