RefWorks
RefWorks is a web-based reference management tool designed to help researchers and students collect, organize, and cite bibliographic sources. It allows users to import references from databases, organize them into folders, and generate citations and bibliographies in various academic styles. The tool integrates with word processors like Microsoft Word and Google Docs to streamline the writing process.
Developers should learn RefWorks when working in academic, research, or technical writing contexts that require managing large volumes of citations and references. It is particularly useful for creating documentation, whitepapers, or research papers where accurate citation formatting is critical, such as in scientific computing, data analysis projects, or open-source documentation. Using RefWorks can save time and reduce errors in bibliographic tasks compared to manual citation management.
