RefWorks bibliography citation manager

RefWorks Bibliography Manager Now Available

RefWorks is a Web-based bibliography manager that allows you to create your own personal database of references. You can use these references in writing papers, and automatically format the paper and the bibliography in a variety of styles (i.e., Chicago, Science, Nature). Best of all, RefWorks is available for free to the Yale community!

RefWorks allows you to:

• Organize and create a personal database online - no more index cards to write out and organize. Add value to references by including your notes and keywords.

• Import references from a variety of journal article databases using the available import filters.

• Search your database of references.

• Format bibliographies and manuscripts in seconds - this saves hours of typing time and decreases
  the number of errors in creating tedious bibliographies.

• Easily make changes to your paper and reformat in seconds.

• Share your RefWorks database with others if you are doing collaborative research.

• Export references to EndNote and other bibliographic management software.
  

RefWorks is similar to software-based products like EndNote. The benefits of online access include:

• Available from anywhere you have a Web connection - no downloading or installation.
• All upgrades are included - no charge for new features. The latest upgrades are loaded on the RefWorks server so all users automatically have access to the most recent version.
• Can be used across multiple platforms. As a Web-based product, RefWorks is available to users across various platforms including Windows, Mac, and Unix.

To try RefWorks, go to http://www.library.yale.edu/cite/refworks.html.
First time users will need to register for an account.
