Creating a New Citation Style

To make sure your changes are not overwritten when we update a style, you cannot edit the included citation styles directly: you must make a copy first.

Creating a New Style from Scratch

Hint: We provide templates for many types of styles, which save time compared to starting from scratch. To use them, follow "Editing a Copy of a Style" below, using a copy of one of the Citavi Style Templates.

1.In the Reference Editor, on the Citation menu, point to Citation styles and then click Edit citation style, or press Shift+F11.

2.Click Create citation style.

3.Start working on the style.

4.Save the citation style file. We recommend the default location, which is the Custom Citation Styles folder in your Citavi folder for user files.

Editing a Copy of a Style

1.In the Reference Editor, on the Citation menu, point to Citation styles and then click Edit citation style, or press Shift+F11.

2.Select the style you want to edit a copy of. If the style you need isn't in the list yet, click Find and add style.

3.Click Edit.

4.Enter a name for your style and click OK.

When you edit your own style in the future, you can either save a new copy with a new name or open the existing copy directly.
