RefWorks

RefWorks

RefWorks is a web-based reference manager that allows you to create your own personal database by importing references from online databases and other sources.  You can organise and manage your references, use them when writing an assignment and automatically create a reference list/bibliography in your selected citation style.  

RefWorks is available to all University of Lincoln staff and students.
