EndNote Fusion

RefWorks is now called EndNote Fusion

No action is required from users, and existing workflows will continue to work:

  • There are no changes to authentication,
  • All existing accounts, references, settings, projects, folders, attachments, tags, custom citation styles, sharing permissions etc. will transfer automatically.
  • Existing RefWorks users will be contacted directly by library@abertay.ac.uk

Please bear with us whilst we update our Library web pages and guidance to reflect the changes implemented by the supplier.

What is EndNote Fusion (RefWorks)?

EndNote Fusion is the new name for RefWorks, an online reference management tool that allows you to:

  • create, organise and share an online database of references, and 
  • format reference lists to the referencing style of your choice quickly and easily.

There are lots of referencing tools available to use, some of which are freely available. Abertay subscribes to EndNote Fusion, and as such, we can support you with it whilst you use it.

Any new tool can take a bit of time to understand, but the benefits of EndNote Fusion include:

  • it saves you time! Reference lists are created in seconds, saving you hours of typing time formatting your references manually
  • it's web-based, so you can use it anywhere
  • it's easy to build content in EndNote Fusion, exporting references from LibrarySearch, Google Scholar, academic databases, and the web

It's tempting to leave EndNote Fusion until the last minute or when you have larger pieces of work, but the earlier you use it, the greater the benefits.
