Adding Articles by DOI Name or PubMed ID

You can download bibliographic information for articles as easily as you can for books with ISBNs. The only requirement is that the article have a DOI name or PubMed ID.

A Digital Object Identifier (DOI name) looks similar to a Web address, but unlike a Web address, it is a permanent locator. A DOI name can be used both to find a particular article and also to download its bibliographic information. You can identify a DOI name by its address: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lisr.2009.01.002 or doi:10.1016/j.nedt.2008.07.004

PubMed is the world's largest database of citations for biomedical and life science literature. Every article is assigned a PubMed ID (PMID). If you have an article with a PubMed ID, you can use it to download the article's bibliographic information with Citavi. You can identify a PubMed ID by its prefix: PMID 20439253
