What is RefWorks?

RefWorks is a web-based tool that allows you to create and manage your own personal database of useful references. You can then use these to quickly compile a bibliography for your reports and papers.

It also allows you to collaborate and share your research with colleagues.

What does it do?

  • You can import references directly from a number of online databases

  • It allows you to organise, store and manage your references

  • It allows you to automatically format your bibliography in a variety of styles

  • It allows you to share your references with colleagues

However : always check your bibliography, some editing may be required. You still need to have an understanding of the referencing style your School requires.
