RefWorks and Systematic Reviews
The Legacy version of RefWorks can be a helpful tool during the screening process of a Systematic Review; however, if you intend to use the newest version of RefWorks for a Systematic Review, it may not currently have some of the legacy version features and you may want to consult with your subject librarian.
To use Legacy RefWorks for a Systematic Review, please refer to the Library's Systematic Review guide.
