How is Grafiati better than RefWorks?
Here is why you would choose Grafiati instead of RefWorks:
- You can try our service for free. You can also use it for free with some limitations. Otherwise, you can get the unlimited access to all features for a moderate price.
- Registration is done within seconds.
- No need to watch any tutorials or learn hundreds of pages of manuals: the interface is user-friendly and easily understandable.
- We offer the greatest depth of citations combined with simplicity.
- Grafiati has many unique tools to make your citations easier and faster.
- All our references and citations are adapted to your country and your language: no copycats of the US templates from the manuals.
- We offer customer support and develop our service based on your recommendations.
But this is not the most outstanding thing about Grafiati. In contrast to most popular citation generator services, we are not using the common erroneous third-party software code, which is the basis of services such as Zotero, Mendeley, EasyBib, and the like. All our algorithms are proprietary and are scrupulously developed by our team based on researching the information from publication manuals and the recommendations of universities.
