Legacy RefWorks

Legacy Refworks has been retired. It is no longer supported, and will not be available for much longer. Please see information below to create an account in the new platform and/or transition your account. You may try to login to Legacy Refworks to retrieve your citations. 

Creating an Account

New users must create a personal account to get started.

  • You will need to enter your Quinnipiac University email account (make sure to use quinnipiac.edu not qu.edu) and create a password. 
  • After creating your account, you will receive an email from RefWorks titled "Account Activation." Click the link in the email to activate your account. If you do not receive the email, be sure to check your spam folder.
  • You are now ready to populate your RefWorks database with citations!
