Reference Management Software: RefWorks: Getting Started
Introduction to RefWorks
RefWorks is a reference management software that helps users organise and manage references. RefWorks is available for free to all Wrexham University Students. Key features of RefWorks include:
|
Reference management
|
RefWorks allows you to store, organise, and format your references from various sources like books, journal articles, websites, and more, in your own personalised RefWorks library. |
|
Reference list generation
|
You can automatically generate a reference list in different citation styles, including institutional styles such as Wrexham Harvard. |
|
Integration with word processors
|
RefWorks can be integrated with Microsoft Word or Google Docs to directly insert citations into your work as you write and generate a reference list within your document. RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) is installed in Word for Wrexham University students and will already be available on your toolbar. |
