RefWorks is a web-based software application that helps you manage citations. It helps you keep track of the sources you are using for your research and your own notes about the sources. It is web-based (no special software installation, downloads, or plug-ins required). It will also create bibliographies for you in the format you specify (APA, IEEE, etc.).
Use Citation Style Sources and go to create a list of works cited to see examples of how books, journal articles, magazine articles, primary sources and newspaper articles can be cited in your research paper.

The Humanitarian Technology Challenge (HTC) was created by people like you, for people like you: technologists, humanitarians, nonprofit organizations, students, government employees – and citizens of the world – who are coming together to identify, and work to solve, some of the world’s most pressing challenges. With a unique, open-source collaborative concept, HTC enables you to make a difference – without making a major commitment of your time or resources.
The HTC is an innovative, collaborative endeavor that will develop and implement technological solutions to selected humanitarian challenges in developing countries. Our mission is to:
- Solve three global challenges selected based upon input from leading humanitarians for their potential impact on humanity… and potential for success.
- Create solutions that are sustainable, scalable and adaptable to multiple environments so they can be implemented locally within the environmental, cultural, structural, political, and socio-economic conditions where they will be deployed.
- Support the work of United Nations and other humanitarian assistance groups worldwide.
See:
The HTC is initially focusing on the three global challenges a group of experts from humanitarian organizations and technologists selected both for their potential impact on humanity… and potential for success.
