Citing and referencing

RefWorks is an online research management tool that allows you to collect and organize resources that can be cited in your research paper. These citations may then be shared, inserted into papers, or automatically added to bibliographies in multiple citation styles.

RefWorks is available to UOB faculty, students, staff, and alumni through a UOB Libraries subscription.

The below tutorials will help you learn some basic features to get started using RefWorks

• ​How do you find and save references while doing your research?
