Reference management software (Citavi, EndNote, Zotero)
What is reference management software?
Reference management software helps you to keep track of the literature you have found. To do this, you enter the relevant bibliographic data, such as title and author, by hand or transfer the data directly from the library catalogue or a database to the reference management software during the search.
In addition to managing your literature, reference management software also supports you in writing academic texts. References and supporting documents can be inserted directly into the text document, and the pre-selected citation style ensures consistency and clarity.
