RefWorks: In-Depth Help: Home

RefWorks is an online research/citation management tool that allows you to collect, store, and manage information.

With RefWorks, you can:

• create your own database of references;
• export references from article databases and from the Web;
• generate in-text citations and bibliographies

Props to Larissa Garcia of National-Louis University for creating this guide. I adapted it for UT Arlington with her permission.
