Creating a Refworks Account

Any current York University student, faculty or staff member may set up a personal RefWorks account for free!

To set up your account:

  1. Go to the RefWorks log-in page
  2. Click on ” Sign up for a New Account“.

Sign up for new account

3. Fill in the fields to set up your York University RefWorks account.

Create Account

It is NOT necessary to use your Passport York username and password as the account username and password. You can use any username and password that will be easy for you to remember. It is not advisable to use your Passport York password.

CAUTION: If you are using RefWorks at a public workstation at York University, be sure to LOG OUT of RefWorks when you are finished. If you don’t log out, the next person who comes to use that workstation for RefWorks may inadvertently open your account. The LOG OUT button is very small, in the upper right corner of the RefWorks work screen
