  3. In your RefWorks account select the citation for the PDF you just downloaded to your desktop and click the pencil to open the edit window.

4. Then scroll down to where you can add an attachment. Now upload a saved PDF or Word doc of your article.

5. Finally, be sure you click SAVE at the bottom of the screen so the full text will be added.
