New RefWorks: Welcome

What is RefWorks?

It is Reference Management Software that lets you:

  • Create a database of references imported from online resources such as databases and websites
  • Organise those references into folders
  • Share your references with other researchers
  • Insert references directly into a Word document choosing from a range of referencing styles
  • Create a bibliography of all or a selection of your references.

RefWorks Support

Workshops on Referencing and RefWorks are run throughout the year. Check out our online calendar to see what is available and to book a place. 

Help is also available by contacting dmu.refworks@dmu.ac.uk.

PhD students can sign up to the Good Academic Practice and Reference Management Workshop via the Researcher Community shell on Blackboard.
