You don’t use a typewriter to write your research paper . . . Why would you cite your sources & create your reference section by hand?
What is RefWorks? It’s a web-based tool (free to UCSF residents, faculty & staff) that allows you to: Create your personal database of bibliographic references Import citations from UCSF databases including PubMed Organize your citation records into electronic folders Manage related research materials such as PDFs, notes, figures Automatically create in-text citations Format your papers & generate bibliographies in seconds
1. Create your personal database of bibliographic references
4. Manage related research materials (.pdf, .doc, .jpg, etc.)
Write-N-Cite is a powerful feature you can download to your computer & use interactively with a Word document 5. Automatically create in-text citations
RefMobile lets you add PubMed citations from your handheld mobile device quickly with the “Smart Add” feature • RefGrabIt allows you to capture bibliographic information from web pages And that’s not all . . .
