At university you are expected to reference information sources used in your assignments. Referencing is important as it:

  • gives credit to authors
  • shows that you’ve done your research  
  • means that others can find the resources you have used .

UTS Library supports RefWorks and EndNote.

RefWorks

RefWorks is a cloud-based reference manager that can assist your referencing. It can be used to create reference lists and in-text citations. We recommend this to undergraduate and postgraduate by coursework students. 

EndNote

EndNote is suitable for researchers and can be a helpful tool when undertaking a scoping or systematic review.
