Why a Group Account?

• The group has one place to gather and organize
  all of the references for the project.
• Members can attach articles and other documents
  with a reference, so that all members have easy
  access to the groups resources.
• Members can comment on the resources.
• All members have access to the entire set of
  references when inserting citations into the
  group paper and when creating the bibliography.

Who Can Create a Group Account?

group account. RefWorks users can have more than
