Introduction
RefWorks is a
bibliographic tool that allows you to keep your own
reference database online, and allows you to simply click a
reference to enter it into your work – “Write-N-Cite”.
It will then automatically format the references and create
a reference list in your chosen style. When you search
databases in Ovid you can export the references you find
directly into your own personal RefWorks database, and
organise searches in different folders if you wish.
If you tackle the
relatively short learning curve it should be a fantastic
help during your studies enabling you to manage references
quickly and accurately.
It requires an
internet connection, a word processor such as Microsoft Word
(some others are supported), a small file downloaded and
installed on your computer, and an Athens password (UWE
students' Athens password allows access to RefWorks. If you
are a student elsewhere you may not have access unless your
institution has purchased RefWorks) |
