Citation managers

Using citation managers

          Citation managers enable you to organize the citations you find by importing them from the University Libraries’ databases and placing them in folders.  When you write your paper, you can use the citation manager to insert brief citations in the text and to prepare a bibliography in APA format (or almost any other style).

          The following citation managers are web based and include the Check for Full Text from LinkSource button in the citation record.  Clicking on “Get it @ R"” will lead you to the article in full text/pdf.

 

 RefWorks

          With the financial support of the Rutgers-Newark Dean’s Offices, the University Libraries can offer the opportunity to import citations to RefWorks from almost all journal index databases and the Online Catalog.  The only exception is Web of Science which requires the use of EndNote Online.  The process of exporting citation to RefWorks is easy

          For more information about RefWorks and to connect directly, go to Services and Tools on the red bar at the top of the University Libraries’ home page.   RefWorks is listed under Tools in the column on the right.
