Find information about RefWorks, including creating an account, adding references, creating citations or a bibliography, and troubleshooting problems.

RefWorks is a web-based service designed to help you manage your research. With RefWorks you can:

• create your own database of references;
• export references from article databases and from the Web;
• share research with others; and
• generate citations and bibliographies as you write.

RefWorks is available to all UW users through the University Libraries' online subscription.  

RefWorks is a good choice for your citation management needs if:

• you need to work from multiple computers or locations;
• you are working on a group project or need to share citations with others;
• you would like to access your citation manager on a mobile phone or PDA
