Two citation and reference managers that the UNL Libraries supports, Mendeley and RefWorks, now require the use of a plugin from the Microsoft app store in order to enable integration of the tools with Microsoft Word. Researchers wishing to use Mendeley and RefWorks with UNL-provided Microsoft Word applications will need to follow the steps outlined on this guide in order to use the citation plugins. The information in this guide covers both the web-based version of Word as well as the installed desktop application.
Both the Mendeley and RefWorks plugins require current versions of Microsoft Word, or they may not install correctlly. If you will be using the Word desktop application, first make sure you have the most current version of Microsoft Office installed and updated. Instructions for downloading and installing Office from the UNL enterprise offering are available from UNL ITS. Please complete this step prior to proceeding.
