Help with RefWorks

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management application. Because it is web-based, you are able to access and share your RefWorks personal citation database from anywhere via the Internet -- on campus, at home (via VPN), or abroad.

The Library at UCSF has acquired a site license for RefWorks and an account is free for UCSF students, faculty, and staff. For more information and instructions on how to register for an account, see the UCSF Library's Citation Management page.

If you are not affiliated with UCSF, please contact you organization to see if RefWorks is available for your use.
