There are two methods for working offline with RefWorks: the traditional method and the Write-N-Cite method. For the traditional method, you export references from RefWorks as a citation list, insert placeholders in your document, and format citations after reconnecting online. For Write-N-Cite, you download your RefWorks database, insert placeholders while offline, and format citations by generating a bibliography upon reconnecting online. Both methods allow writing papers offline through use of temporary placeholders that link to references.
