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 button in the citation record. Clicking on “Search for Article” will lead
you to the article in full text.
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 IRIS. The only exception is Web of Science which
requires the use of EndNote Web. The
process of exporting citation to refWorks is easy
For
more information about RefWorks and to connect directly, go to the sidebar on
the University Libraries’ home page
and select RefWorks from the third grouping of sites.
