RefWorks is bibliographic management software that allows users to collect, organize, and share references. It enables users to create in-text citations and bibliographies automatically. To set up a RefWorks account, users access it through their university library databases, use their university email to create an account, and activate it by checking for an activation email. RefWorks can then be used to import references from different sources and format papers.
