RefWorks with Focus on Health Sciences Databases

The Medical Library will organise a workshop on RefWorks with Focus on Health Sciences Databases.



 

 

RefWorks is a web-based citation management tool which allows you to create your own personal database by importing references from online databases or text files. You can use these references in writing research papers and RefWorks can help to automatically format the paper and the bibliography in seconds.

This workshop will cover both the basic and the advanced functions of RefWorks, with a focus on importing references from PubMed and other health science databases like MEDLINE and CINAHL. You will also learn how to create in-text citations and bibliography of different citation styles (APA, AMA, etc.) in your Word documents.

Date and Time:

15 Jan (Thu) 2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. (FULL)

27 Jan (Tue) 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
