RefWorks subscription ends 31 December 2021 – move your references to another tool!

University of Vaasa’s subscription to Refworks reference management tool will end on 31 December, 2021. The subscription will not be renewed because the terms of the agreement conflict with EU data protection laws. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

Current Refworks users are advised to export their references to another reference management tool, such as Mendeley or Zotero, as soon as possible. After the subscription has expired, users will have access to their accounts for exporting until 28 February, 2022.

The library provides support in exporting the Refworks references. Detailed instructions will soon be available in our LibGuide for Reference Management: https://uva.libguides.com/reference_management
