Reference management software

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic citation management tool that allows you to:

reorganize and edit your own database at any time
retrieve citations from their database with a simple or advanced search, or by scrolling through lists by author, topic, title
reinsert citations into one's own text, with a simple click while writing
produce bibliographies according to the citation style required by your University or in use in your subject area

NOTICE

RefWorks has become EndNote Fusion

On 6 October 2026, RefWorks was renamed EndNote Fusion as part of the transition to a unified platform following Clarivate’s acquisition of ProQuest.

What has changed:

the name "RefWorks" has been replaced by "EndNote Fusion"
the user interface features new colours and a new logo
the familiar RefWorks experience has been enhanced with new features, such as improved connectivity for transferring references from Web of Science (and other providers’ platforms) directly into structured EndNote groups, which remain linked to the original search and update automatically over time

What remains unchanged:

the transition to EndNote Fusion has no impact on how the software is used, its configuration or daily workflows
RefWorks users received only an in-app notification at the time of the transition to EndNote Fusion: no action is required on their part, and existing accounts and personal data remain fully accessible, ensuring continuity of service
