Description
Sciwheel is a reference manager to add citations and references to your work in Microsoft Word. To get started, go to sciwheel.com and create an account using your UCSF email.
How to Get Sciwheel for Word
Look for Sciwheel in Microsoft's Add-In Store under Admin Managed. You can find the store by going to the “Insert” menu of Word 2016 and selecting the downward arrow next to Add-Ins. From the Add-Ins menu, select the Get Add-ins link and then select Admin Managed. From the list of available Add-Ins, click the icon for Sciwheel and the Add button to install the Add-In. After the Sciwheel Add-in has been installed, it can be accessed by clicking the Sciwheel icon on the Home menu of Word 2016.
Benefits
The tool consists of a web-based application, a browser extension to quickly add new information to your “library” of saved articles, an add-in for Microsoft Word, a means to add PDFs from your computer to Sciwheel, and a “reading list”.
Support
Limited support for Sciwheel is offered through the UCSF Library.
Once you've created your account you can get extensive support through the Sciwheel Help guide. You can also chat with other Office 365 users at UCSF on the Office 365 Team (open to anyone at UCSF - use the join code 7me7twx).
Training
In addition to the Sciwheel Help guide, you can also find a library of Sciwheel How-to videos.
Requirements and Limitations
To access Office 365 you need a web browser (Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge are recommended for the best experience) and a UCSF email address.
