What is RefWorks?

RefWorks is a references management tool that enables you to create and organise your own personal database of references and citations and to share these with colleagues. You can add citations while you write a paper and then use RefWorks to format the paper in the referencing style you choose, adding both in-text references and a bibliography.

RefWorks is web-based so it is available at any time, from any computer with an Internet connection. It can be used with all major web browsers and is compatible with multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac and Unix.

RefWorks is also available on your smart phone. Go to RefMobile for details.
