RefWorks Best Practices

Most RefWorks account issues and Save to RefWorks (StR) login issues, in addition to interface misbehaviors, can be corrected with these simple solutions:

  • Clearing the internet browser cache of cookies - RefWorks login cookies can expire and need to be cleared from time to time by using these key combinations in the browser.
    • Windows: Ctrl + Shift + Delete
    • Mac: Command + Shift + Delete
    • Chromebook: Ctrl + Shift + Backspace
  • Deactivate any ad blocking or anti-tracking browser plugins – this is a good practice for all Clarivate products. Both the browser's settings and extensions like uBlock Origin, AdBlock, and others can block site functionality.   
  • Assign new settings to the internet browser being used
    • Firefox
