Citation management software lets you export citations, including full-text links, directly from research databases into a personal account.

You can then organize these citations using folders, add your own annotations and share citations with colleagues. Bibliographies and in-text citations can be created in the style of your choice.

Among the many existing citation tools, RefWorks and EndNote are two of the most commonly used at INSEAD.

The library recommends RefWorks since it is free to INSEAD users, web-based, easy to use and offers a full range of features.

RefWorks is provided to you by the Library, so there is no need to purchase your own licence.  Access RefWorks from our electronic resources list, which also gives the "group code" necessary for off-campus access. New users can sign up for a personal login on the RefWorks page.

See the TOOLBOX for detailed instructions on how to export to Refworks from the library's research databases. Before getting started, view the RefWorks tutorial (includes Using WriteNCite) as well as the RefShare tutorial.

Since there is no institutional licence for EndNote at INSEAD, you should purchase your individual licence by submitting your request via the purchasing department.

See the TOOLBOX for detailed instructions on how to export to Endnote using direct exporting (where possible) or using connection files and import filters. The EndNote site provides further support, as do the following guides in the Doriot Library: EndNote 7 (call number: QA76.73 .Z2 END 2003) and

EndNote 8 (call number: QA76.73 .Z2 END 2004).
