Read documents in RefWorks

You can add a document (eg a PDF of an article) to RefWorks (read more about uploading a document)

If a reference contains a document (eg a PDF of an article), you can open the document by double-clicking on the reference. You can then read and annotate the document. If the item does not contain a document, you will see 'Find fulltext using Hanze WorldCat' in the window on the right. Click on it to see if you have online access to this publication through the Hanze library.
