RefWorks is an extremely useful tool that allows you to easily create and manage your own personal research database. With a personalized account, you can quickly add citations to your database as you are searching the literature. When you are ready, RefWorks will automatically generate your bibliography to finalize your grant, thesis, dissertation, or manuscript. With all the needed styles contained within RefWorks, your bibliography can easily be generated in APA, MLA, or most any other style. RefWorks now includes the added module, RefShare, which allows users to share their RefWorks references with both members of their own institution and globally with any researchers via the Internet, further enhancing collaborative projects.
