RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management service which allows you to collect, organise and store references from a variety of sources, such as books, journal articles and websites.
It can then help you to quickly produce bibliographies, reference lists and in-text citations in a range of referencing styles, e.g. Harvard, Vancouver, IEEE and journal specific.
RefWorks is available under 'R' on the A-Z list of Databases. There are currently two versions - 'Legacy' (red and black) and new RefWorks (blue). If you are new to RefWorks choose the new blue version.
Workshops to show you how to make the best use of RefWorks are held regularly online during semester. Why not book and come along?
RefWorks workshops are scheduled regularly and currently delivered online, please book using the Library training calendar.
If you are interested in RefWorks training but are unable to attended any of the sessions above, please contact your Subject Librarian.
Use our Library Guide to RefWorks (link below) to get started with this incredibly useful referencing software.
There are a number of free reference management software tools available to download from the Web. However please remember that Refworks is the only software supported by the University Library. Examples of other reference management tools include:
| Mendeley is a free reference manager and academic social network that can help you organize your research, collaborate with others online, and discover the latest research. | |
| Zotero collects all your research in a single, searchable interface. You can add PDFs, images, audio and video files, snapshots of web pages, and more. |
