RefWorks for the Health Sciences
RefWorks is a web-based tool, free to members of the NYU community, that helps manage and organize your research.

In RefWorks for the Health Sciences, you will learn to export citations from the databases in which you are conducting your research (Medline, CINAHL, PubMed, etc.). Prerequisite: experience with database searching.
