RefWorks is a research management tool that facilitates the collection and management of citations to articles, books, web pages and many other types of sources. It allows you to organize your citations into folders, keep track of them in your papers, and produce bibliography formatted in the style of your choice.   From simple bibliographies to papers formatted with in-text citations or footnotes, RefWorks handles it all.

RefWorks is the citation management sofware supported by SCU and it's free to all students, faculty, and staff.
