RefWorks is a web-based bibliography and database manager that allows users to create their own personal database by importing references from text files or online databases. Being a cloud-native platform, it eliminates the need for complex desktop installations, making it a popular choice for university libraries and their students. RefWorks provides an intuitive interface for organizing research projects with folders and tags. Its writing tools, such as the RefWorks Citation Manager, help users insert in-text citations and generate bibliographies within Google Docs and Microsoft Word. The platform supports thousands of citation styles and offers tools for identifying and removing duplicate entries. Because it is managed by Ex Libris, it integrates seamlessly with many university discovery systems, allowing students to save research findings directly from their library's search portal with ease.
