RefWorks 3

RefWorks is an online tool that allows users to collect, store, share and manage reference information. UT Arlington Libraries subscribes to RefWorks for the UTA community.

Advantages:

  • create your own database of references
  • great way to organize your references in folders or subfolders by:
    • topic
    • course
    • group projects
  • import references from article databases and from the Web
  • provides links back to the databases or a pdf file.
  • generate in-text citations and bibliographies  (Work cited or References)
  • RefWorks helps you cite your sources, however, you should always double check and make sure the citation information is correct.  (capitalization, spelling, spacing)

Special Tools

Write-n-Cite is a MS Word plugin that allows you to create in-text citations, footnotes and bibliographies in a variety of citation styles for your papers.  

Save to Refworks - optional feature for capturing bibliographic information from web pages.  Must have RefWorks open for this tool to work effectively.
