Adding a Book

Books are the easiest references to add to Citavi. The only thing you have to decide is whether you have a regular book (also known as a monograph), an edited book, or a collected work. In Citavi, the reference type book refers to a single independent, complete work, written by one author or a team of authors who share responsibility for the text (in one volume or a finite set of volumes).

In contrast, an edited work refers to a single or multi-volume work with discrete contributions from various authors which is compiled by one or more editors. A collected work refers to a selection or complete collection of the work of a single author in one or more volumes.

To add a book as a reference, the basic bibliographic information you need is the author (last name, first name), the title, the place of publication, and the year.

Hint: Put the name of a translator in the Title supplement field, for example "translated from the German by Anna Miller".
