Special software can help you to organize your research and easily
create footnotes, citations, and formatted bibliographies. The four
basic functions of citation management software are:
Save references from research databases, or create new references
Add value to references with notes and keywords
Insert citations into a document
Format a bibliography for that document in a selected style (for example, Chicago, APA, or a specific journal style)
RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management service that allows users to create personal citation databases by importing references from text files or online databases. RefWorks features also facilitate manuscript preparation, allowing for automatic formatting of the paper and the bibliography. RefWorks is free to current University of Arizona faculty, staff and students.
