RefWorks is a research management tool you can use to organize your research, create APA citations, and generate work cited and reference lists.
To get to RefWorks:
1. Go to the RefWorks login page.
2. If you already have an account sign in using your login information. If you need an account click the Create Account link at the bottom of the sign-in page.
3. Enter your UAGC email address (FirstName.LastName@student.uagc.edu) then click Check.
4. You'll then be asked to create a password using at least six or more characters. Then click Sign Up.
5. Check your UAGC email address for an Account Activation email from refworks@proquest.com. If you do not find this email in your inbox try checking your spam folder. Click the activation link in this email to go to your RefWorks account page.
6. Complete your profile by entering your First Name, Last Name, and Role. Then click through a brief tutorial that highlights some of the RefWorks features.
**Please note that while you must use your UAGC student email to create an account, once signed in there is an option to change your email to whatever you prefer by clicking on your name in the upper-right corner and then clicking Settings.
