"Gestor de Citas y Referencias Bibliográficas"

Una de las mejores funciones del software Citavi, es la gestión y administración organizada de citas textuales bibliográficas mediante etiquetas y categiorias, además de la posibilidad de incluir citas y referencias directamente en nuestro escrito conforme estemos trabajando en él (y el estilo de citación requerido).

El Add-on en Microsoft Word facilita enormemente este proceso.

No cuenta con extensiones o Add-ons para paqueterías de ofimática libre, como OpenOffice.

What problems is Citavi solving and how is that benefiting you?

La gestión y administración de grandes repertorios de materiales bibliográficos, ademas de su organización para la revisión y análisis.

"Very impressed about the application and services"

What do you like best about Citavi?

I use Citavi for my scientific work in research. citavi has a cloud access which I think is great. The application runs extremely reliably. If questions arise, there is a wide range of tutorials and communities. I think it has become the benchmark in reference management. I had direct email contact with the specialists from citavi for specific questions. They are very friendly and very helpful. In the meantime I have collected and categorized over 2000 sources via citavi. These can be called up directly via my Word document in a separate integrated button. I would like to claim that citavi made significant progress with my dissertation. My fellow students are also impressed by Citavi.

"intuitive, well developed software with great support"

What do you like best about Citavi?

Citavi is a great software to manage knowledge and to avoid chaos in citing. I can recommend it to students and scientists and everyone else who wants to organize research and whatever kind of publications or knowledge. The use of the software is easy to learn and when something is unclear, the user will find answers in the user forum or in the great other support tools.

What do you dislike about Citavi?

Unfortunately Citavi only works with windows. I'm looking forward to the web version!

Recommendations to others considering Citavi:

Invest 2 hours of your time to get to know Citavi and its functions and it will save you valuable time in organizing your knowledge for the rest of your life.

What problems is Citavi solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm giving Citavi seminars to students. Nearly 100% of the students are using Citavi writing their papers or thesis after having visited this seminars. They can concentrate on the content and let Citavi do the citation style stuff. It helps them to understand how scientific writing works.

I'm using Citavi in my daily work too, to keep track of my research regarding scientific writing, citing and other topics of my seminars in information literacy. I even use Citavi to manage my private DVD collection at home.

"Great for Dissertations and Thesis"

What do you like best about Citavi?

The keywords that allow me to easily "link" concepts together and make a "word cloud". This makes writing my Lit Review chapter of my dissertation much easier. I was able to "synthesize" my topics with less stress. Also, the pdf "snag" option is great for getting individual articles links. I did research on the various citation software and Citavi won hands down! I have recommended Citavi to numerous fellow classmates and others working on their doctoral degrees.

What do you dislike about Citavi?

When I do use the .pdf link, often the information is not in the format that I need to write my Sources Cited. The bibliography does not allow me to change line spacing according to APA format that is required for my papers. The citation styles does not sync with APA manual requirements, which means I often have to revert the style to one type of citation. The issues I have with the citation style not matching up with the required writing style (APA) is frustrating and often my choice is limited which means I have to go back and reformat the end citation.

Recommendations to others considering Citavi:

From all my research on other citation software, Citavi has almost everything to make my writing easier.

What problems is Citavi solving and how is that benefiting you?

It worked great when I was typing my comprehensive exam, tremendous help. Someone at Citavi needs to match citation styles to mimic the requirements of the various writing styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.) that are required in the USA colleges.

"indispensable tool "

What do you like best about Citavi?

It is easy to format references in an article to meet any publisher's demands. It is also easy to create bibliographies for students.

I also like the ease with which I can quote sources and the fact that all citations in my documents appear in the Bibliography. What is more, it is easy to edit the citations, much easier than, for example, in programs that come with document writer programs.

It also helps my students organize their reading assignments and notes so that they can better prepare for exams.

What do you dislike about Citavi?

I wish there were a way to sync my references across folders. It would also be helpful if there were a way to sync between computers. Only being able to have two downloaded versions of the program is quite difficult if one is moving between computers.

Recommendations to others considering Citavi:

The free trial is a great opportunity to get to know that project. Once you hit 100 articles, you know it is time to buy.

Also, citavi's lifetime membership is comparable to a year or so with the competition. Then again, after a couple of years you will want to purchase an update; however, you do not HAVE to. This is a significant difference.

What problems is Citavi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Citavi has helped me prepare articles for publication and bibliographies for my students.
