Adding a New Reference by Hand

Citavi makes it simple to add references by providing templates for many different reference types. Each template only contains those fields required for the bibliographic description of that particular reference type. When you add a new reference, you begin by choosing the reference type.

Adding a New Reference by Hand

1.Switch to the Reference Editor, if necessary.

2.On the References menu, click New reference by hand, press Ctrl+N, or click Reference on the toolbar.

3.Choose the appropriate reference type from the list and click OK.

4.Enter bibliographic information on the Reference tab.

Hint: New projects open with a blank reference for a journal article. If necessary, on the Reference tab, click the name of the reference type to change it or to delete it and add a new reference.

Saving Time with Autocomplete

In many fields (author, editor, keywords, etc.), Citavi will automatically complete what you are typing, based on phrases or names used in other references in the project. To accept a suggestion, press Tab or Enter. To reject the suggested completion, continue typing the new word or name or press Esc.
