Refworks is an online research citation management tool that…

• Gathers references from article databases while you search
• Formats manuscripts and citations in a variety of styles (APA, etc.)
• Organizes a personal database of references, images, links, notes, tags, and PDFs

The UW-Madison libraries subscribe to Refworks for all students, staff and faculty. Alumni can maintain perpetual access to their accounts after graduation.
