Create a Custom Link to Import References to RefWorks
You can create a custom link to Import into RefWorks that appears underneath each search result. To add this custom link, use the following steps:
1. Click on the menu in the top left corner and click on Settings.
2. After clicking on Settings, refer to the Search results section, and under Bibliography manager, select the radio button to Show links to import citations into. Set the chosen reference management software to RefWorks using the dropdown and click Save.
3. An Import into RefWorks custom link will then appear under each search result.
The video tutorial below demonstrates how to create a bibliography list in WorldCat and then export that list to RefWorks.
Although PubMed does not have a direct export to RefWorks, it's possible to create a file in PubMed that can be imported into RefWorks.
