With RefWorks, you can:

  • create your own database of references;
  • export references from article databases and from the Web;
  • generate in-text citations and bibliographies
  • Easily collaborate and share references
  • Easily organize your research
  • Search online catalogs such as CUNY+Plus & import citations into RefWorks
