RefWorks

A guide to using RefWorks reference management software to save references in a library and create citations and references in documents

Introduction to RefWorks

RefWorks is reference management software that enables you to:

  • import references from databases or text files
  • create references from saved PDF articles
  • build up your own database of relevant references
  • add correctly formatted citations to word documents
  • build a bibliography

RefWorks is a web-based package that can be used from any computer with an internet connection. It is particularly useful for undergraduates and taught-course postgraduates preparing projects and dissertations.

RefWorks is funded by Library Services and is a free service to our users.
