RefMobile is a version of RefWorks for mobile and smart phones, as well as PDAs, that allows you to access and view your references, manage folders and even add information to the Notes field of your references. RefMobile also has a feature called SmartAdd that will search the web for references based on a digital object identifier (DOI), PubMed ID (PMID), PubMed Central ID (PMCID), ISSN/ISBN number or by author and publication year, or even search using part of a title. References located by SmartAdd can be imported into your RefWorks account via RefMobile.

Access RefMobile at refworks.scholarsportal.info/mobile/. Please note: you must have a group code to access RefMobile. The code for Dalhousie users is RWDalhousieU
