RefWorks allows users to create personal databases and use them for a variety of research activities. References are quickly and easily imported from text files, online databases, through RSS feeds or via the web. Users can automatically insert references from their database into their papers and generate formatted bibliographies and manuscripts in instantly. Users can access RefWorks any time, from any web-connected computer running any operating platform. RefWorks incorporates an online style guide within the program.
