You must use your Franklin University email address to create a RefWorks account.
To create a RefWorks account:
- Go to the Create an Account page;
- Enter your Franklin University email address (Students: @email.franklin.edu, Faculty/Staff: @franklin.edu) and select "Check";
- Next, enter the password that you would like to use and select "Sign Up";
- DO NOT select "Use login from my institution";
- Although the account uses your Franklin University email address, it is a separate account which is not synced to your Franklin University account;
- A confirmation email will be sent to you. Locate this email to Activate your RefWorks account. If you do not see the message in your inbox, check your spam or quarantine folder. [You can contact the Franklin University Technology Help Desk for assistance in locating these folders.]
- Once you have activated your account, fill in your first and last name, department, and role (undergraduate, faculty, etc.)
After you have created your account, you can Log-In from any computer to manage your references.
NOTE: Offsite users may be asked for a group code when creating an account. If so, use "RWFranklinU".
