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.

 

For further information and guidance see the further tabs at the top of this box.

For more help: please contact libraryhelp@tees.ac.uk.
