Citavi, Perhaps a Great Notion?

By on March 2, 2011

Have you taken a look at Citavi yet? It’s a reference management and knowledge organization program that’s been in use in the German-speaking world for some time, and an English-language version has just been released. The publisher, Swiss Academic Software, notes that these characteristics set Citavi apart from other bibliographic management softwares:

  1. Citavi helps with all research tasks, from searching for sources to excerpting quotations, creating outlines, and planning tasks, all the way to creating a formatted publication.
  2. Citavi is especially well-suited to inexperienced university students, since it guides them through the entire academic research process.
  3. Citavi offers comprehensive online search and import options. Over 4000 research databases and library catalogs can be searched from within Citavi.

Want to take a look? Good news: you can download Citavi Free here, for, well, free (Citavi Free has all the features of Citavi Pro, with the one limitation that you can only save 100 references in a project). I’d love to hear your thoughts about it; I’m always on the lookout for good, better, and best reference management software.

More as it happens,
Cheryl

Cheryl LaGuardia About Cheryl LaGuardia

Cheryl LaGuardia always wanted to be a librarian, and has been one for more years than she's going to admit. She cracked open her first CPU to install a CD-ROM card in the mid-1980's, pioneered e-resource reviewing for Library Journal in the early 90's (picture calico bonnets and prairie schooners on the web...), won the Louis Shores / Oryx Press Award for Professional Reviewing, and has been working for truth, justice, and better electronic library resources ever since. Reach her at claguard@fas.harvard.edu, where she's a Research Librarian at Harvard University.
