Citavi helps researchers, academics, and students work better by combining reference management, knowledge organization and project planning into one program. This software offers more than basic citation handling – it’s a complete system for managing academic work from start to finish.
Citavi finds full bibliographic details and PDFs automatically, which means less time spent on manual entry and more time for actual research. You can mark important passages in PDFs and save quotes, ideas, and notes directly to your project. Each snippet keeps its source and page number automatically.
Writing becomes easier with Citavi’s Word integration. Add citations while you write and create reference lists in any of the 11,000+ available citation styles. The Knowledge Organizer lets you plan your document structure and move your saved notes straight into your text, with perfect citations included.
