What is RefWorks?

What is RefWorks?

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic citation manager that allows you to create your own personal database of references for both academic and personal use. With RefWorks you can:

  • Easily import references from electronic databases, the UNT library catalog, text files, websites and more into your account
  • Quickly create reference lists for papers and projects in the citation style of your choice
  • Share references with colleagues

RefWorks is provided by the Libraries to the UNT community free of charge, but to create an account for the first time an access code is needed. Please contact our AskUs service at 940-565-3245 or email AskUs@unt.edu using your UNT email address to receive the code.

See the information below to start using your RefWorks account, provided to all students, faculty and staff by the UNT Libraries. Visit the RefWorks Library Guide for video tutorials and instructions for basic and advanced functions.

Tips for Using RefWorks

Off-Campus Use

If you are using RefWorks somewhere other than the UNT campus, you can still use your account. Simply enter your UNT email address and the password you created for the account.

Browsers

RefWorks works best with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge. If you're having problems with RefWorks, try switching to a different browser.

Pop-ups

RefWorks functions with the use of some pop-ups. Be sure to turn off your pop-up blocker, or add RefWorks as an exception to the blocker.
