RefWorks is a citation management tool. It is excellent to use when writing papers or manuscripts because it:

• collects citations from databases into one place
• deletes duplicate references 
• saves citations over times
• allows note taking and PDF attachment of articles
• creates bibliographies
• creates in-text citations
• includes hundreds of citations styles

UConn Any Ware provides software, including Microsoft Office Programs and Minitab, free of charge to the UConn Community.
