When you receive the follow-up email from RefWorks, look for the following section:

1. How do I import citations from my old reference manager?

With a single click you can import your references directly from Mendeley and other versions of RefWorks. In Zotero, EndNote, and other reference managers, just create an RIS file, save it to your desktop, and then upload it to RefWorks.

Click on the import your references directly link in that section, and follow the instructions provided to import your references from your legacy RefWorks account into your new RefWorks account
Your references, file attachments, folders, and custom output styles will automatically be moved into your new RefWorks account. Shared folders will need to be re-shared in the new RefWorks.

What if I forget my password?

After you enter your email address on the RefWorks sign in page, you will be brought to the page where you would enter your password.
