ProQuest has retired the Legacy RefWorks system. Legacy RefWorks are no longer available as of June 28, 2023.

Ohio State Legacy RefWorks accounts that meet the following criteria have automatically been upgraded to the current RefWorks system:

  • Contain 10 or more citations -AND-
  • User has logged in at least once since January, 2019 -AND-
  • Account has not already been upgraded individually

If you meet all these criteria, you do not need to take any action; your account should have been automatically upgraded by June 30 and you should have received a notification from RefWorks once the upgrade was completed. You can learn more about the current RefWorks by reviewing the RefWorks User Guide.
