The university library provides THM members with free access to the reference management software "Citavi" (Citavi for Microsoft Windows and Citavi Web for all operating systems) and "EndNote" (Microsoft Windows and MacOS). Reference management software assists with collecting, organizing, and citing literature.
Both programs provide citation styles (APA, Harvard, IEEE, etc.) that allow for the automated creation of bibliographic references and bibliographies.
Citavi
research
Citavi supports all steps of academic work, starting with research. The Citavi Picker allows you to "pick" bibliographic data and full texts from catalogs, databases, or PDFs. By entering the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) or DOI (Digital Object Identifier), Citavi automatically imports the necessary bibliographic information.
Knowledge organization
Knowledge organization helps to bring order to collected information. It provides several tools for this purpose. Literature can be categorized and organized. Quotations can be extracted from each text, systematically arranged, and combined with one's own ideas and initial text drafts. In this way, the body of information and knowledge on the research topic grows continuously.
Quote
Citavi also supports the writing of academic papers. The software works with almost all word processing programs – including LaTeX editors. With a mouse click, collected quotations and ideas are inserted into the text, and bibliographic references are added to footnotes.
After selecting one of over 10,000 citation styles, Citavi automatically generates a bibliography.
