Using RefWorks is a way to collect, organize, annotate en cite research publications. 

An institutional account is available to staff and students of the RUG and UMCG, and includes 10GB of document storage, unlimited sharing inside and outside the institution, easy institution-wide sharing, phone and email tech support, training and more.

To create a RefWorks account:

1. Go to http://refworks.proquest.com and click the “sign up” link.
2. Fill in your information making sure to use your institutional email address (RUG or UMCG), you can’t sign up with @outlook.com, @gmail.com, etc..  Using your institutional email address will help Proquest to know whether you are entitled to an institutional account (with all the benefits mentioned above!).

Once you activate your account (you'll receive an email with a link to complete the registration process), you’ll get access immediately and can get started managing your documents.
