RefWorks

RefWorks is an online tool that helps you manage and organise your references. You can collect references from different databases and keep them all in one place.

RefWorks can be used to identify and remove duplicate records (because you might find the same article in more than one database). Knowing how many individual articles you have found is important if you need to document your search results.
