Names of Periodicals and Series

In some subject areas, it is customary to not list periodicals and series by their full names, but rather by their abbreviations. Citavi lets you add up to three abbreviations to each periodical or series. To add abbreviations, in the Reference Editor, on the Lists menu, click Periodicals or Series, respectively. Then double-click a periodical or series and add the abbreviations.

To use the abbreviation in the bibliography instead of the full name, use the citation style editor to change the style.

1.Open the citation style in the citation style editor.

2.Switch to the Journal article use case (for periodicals) or the Book use case (for series).

3.In the list of components, double-click the Periodical component (for periodicals) or Series title component (for series). This opens the component editor.

4.In the Properties pane of the component editor, under Use name or abbreviation, select the name or abbreviation you want to use. The Fall back to next available name option lets Citavi use the next name or abbreviation it finds, if the selected name or abbreviation is empty.

5. Click OK to finish and then save changes to the citation style.
