HST 200 Spring 2017: RefWorks: Manage Citations

Additional Citation Tool:

Citation Management Tool: RefWorks

RefWorks is a tool which allows users to gather and organize citations.

Citations are collected during the research process: each time a source is used in preparation for writing a paper, the citation to that source may be added (or exported directly) into RefWorks. Multiple projects can be separated by organizing the citations into folders.

When the project is complete, RefWorks will compile the citations into a 'works cited' or 'bibliography' according to MLA or APA, as desired.

Users have the option of sharing their folders for work on group projects.

RefWorks accounts must be set up while on-campus. Thereafter, RefWorks may be accessed from on- or off-campus.

Unlike other subscription services, RefWorks offers ongoing access for alumni.

For help with using RefWorks, see the guide below:
