Organize your references into folders 

There different ways to assign your references to folders, here are 2 of the suggested ways: 

1. Drag and drop the reference into a folder
2. Select the reference(s) from the list, and choose the folder(s) under Assign to Folder of your preference.

Note: A reference can be assigned to several folders. If you edit a reference, the changes will be made in all the assigned folders.

There may be some duplicated references in your RefWorks library, especially when RefWorks is being used for a period. You may wish to remove the duplicated references for an organised reference library in RefWorks.
