RefWorks is a Web-based bibliography and database manager that allows users
to create their own personal database by importing references from text files
or online databases. They can use these references in writing their papers and
automatically format the paper and the bibliography in seconds.
RefWorks allows you to…
- Organize and create a personal database online – no more index cards
to write out and organize. Everything is done automatically as you import
the reference into RefWorks.
- Format bibliographies and manuscripts in seconds – this saves hours
of typing time and decreases the number of errors in creating tedious bibliographies.
Easily make changes to your paper and reformat in seconds.
- Import references from a variety of databases using the already created
Import Filters.
- Searching your RefWorks database is fast and easy – RefWorks automatically
creates author, descriptor and periodical indexes when importing so you just
click on the word to perform the retrieval. Use Quick Search to search all
fields for the most comprehensive results or Advanced Search to narrow your
search to specific terms and fields.
