Overcoming the inertia to write a research project can be more difficult than actually writing it.
The blank document only grows more intimidating if you don’t remember previous research, or if you know that after writing, you’ll still need to find and compile all of your sources from note apps, half-references in drafts, and scraps of memory.
Fortunately, tools like RefWorks help smooth the path during both research and writing.
With RefWorks, you can aggregate and save references from our major databases like PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus; collaborate with the Google Docs add-on; and create bibliographies (in APA 7th, AMA, etc), importing them with the Microsoft word plug-in.
Himmelfarb staff have created a great one-stop RefWorks guide.
However, if that’s overwhelming, check out this video tutorial on importing citations from PubMed or CINAHL into Refworks and start using RefWorks today!
