What are the advantages of using RefWorks?

It keeps your research more organized by allowing you to store in one place all of the citations
you have gathered from various online indexes/databases
It provides links back to articles that are full-text in one of the online indexes/databases to which the Bethel Libraries subscribe
It allows you to attach PDFs of articles to the citations stored in RefWorks (Great way to store articles requested from other libraries through interlibrary loan!)
It allows you to create bibliographies/reference lists in a selected citation style (e.g., APA)
If you use the companion program, Write-N-Cite, it will format your in-text citations as well as your reference list

NOTE: Although RefWorks is a great program, it is not perfect. Therefore, when using RefWorks
to create a bibliography/reference list, be aware that some editing may be needed after
it has been saved as a Word document.
