Reference management tools

Reference management tools are designed to help researchers easily gather, manage, store and share all types of information, as well as generate citations and bibliographies.


We reccommend:

RefWorks is a web-based reference management tool that is purchased by Estonian University of Life Sciences to all faculty members and students. RefWorks allows users:
  • quickly and easily import references from online databases;
  • store, organize and replenish records;
  • automatically insert references into papers;
  • generate formatted bibliographies instantly.

It is reccommended to use EMÜ network and e-mail address for creating an account to RefWorks (students: name.familyname@student.emu.ee, staff: name.familyname@emu.ee). If you are out of the EMÜ network or if you wish to create account with your other personal e-mail address, contact karmen.kalk@emu.ee ;for further assistance.
