Refworks is a tool designed to help researchers to easily gather, manage, store and share all types of
information, as well as generating references and bibliographies. It allows you to store references in folders, annotated stored references and format them in a desired output style, for example HAVARD (you may create your own style) and request RefWorks to format a style for you.
