refworks

RefWorks is a tool that you can use to keep track of your sources, generate in-text citations, and create a bibliography for your research projects.

UPEI students, faculty and staff have access to RefWorks both on and off campus. You can log in to RefWorks with your regular UPEI username and password.

To start, click on the RefWorks tab on the Robertson Library Homepage.

Zotero and Mendeley are free tools to help you manage bibliographies. If you’re looking for alternatives to Refworks, you can give them a try. Please note that Robertson Library currently offers minimum support for Zotero and Mendeley.

UPEI does not require a group code. The prompt occurs to off-campus users for the following reasons:

RefShare allows users to share either their entire RefWorks database or a specific folder with others via email. The recipients receive an email with information on accessing the shared folders in RefShare where they can view the references.

If the recipients also have RefWorks accounts, they can import the references into their own accounts. This feature is useful for groups and teams working on assignments and projects.
