What is RefWorks?

RefWorks is a Web-based bibliographic research management service. RefWorks allows users to create personal citation databases by importing references from text files or online databases. RefWorks also facilitates manuscript preparation, allowing for automatic formatting of citations in your paper and your bibliography.

RefWorks is similar in function to software products such as EndNote, Reference Manager, and ProCite. It differs in that personal databases are stored on the RefWorks server and can be accessed through the Portland State Library's institutional account from wherever the user happens to be. In addition, there is no charge for Portland State University's current faculty, staff and students.
