Barwon Health Library Service: RefWorks (Citation Manager)

Evidence for Excellence

RefWorks

RefWorks is a reference management system where you can:

  1. Collect citations
  2. Manage citations, by folder or a searchable database
  3. Cite using proper formatting in a variety of citation styles (e.g. APA, AMA, Vancouver, etc)
  4. Share research with colleagues

Since RefWorks is accessible from the web, it can be used from any computer connected to the internet.

Helpful Hints

  • Sharing Folders

This can be done in two ways, depending on how much functionality you want other users to have:

  1. If you want your group members to have full access to the folder – that is, to add, edit or delete references, as well as to search the folder, create bibliographies and export references – this is done by all members using the same login name and password i.e. you give the login details to the other members.
  2. If you want to provide more limited access to the folder - to search the folder, create bibliographies and export references but not edit etc. – the library can change your settings so you can make the folder shareable.   This gives you a URL for the folder which you then email to your colleagues.
