Creating Publications

When you write a research paper, presentation, dissertation or article, you take the information you have gathered, synthesize it, and use it to support your own arguments. Your publication presents the results of your examination of a specific research problem and must be explained and supported. To do that you need to both quote from your sources and to identify which sources and you have used in your research.

There are two ways you can format your publication using Citavi.

For a shorter document that only contains a few quotations and citations, you can use the Clipboard to insert formatted quotations and ideas directly into your publication. See Citing quickly for more information. You can create a formatted list of selected references in Citavi with just a few clicks and paste it into your document. See Creating a simple project bibliography.

For longer documents, we recommend using the Publication Assistant. The Publication Assistant allows you to insert citations, thoughts, and quotations with a few clicks of the mouse. When you format your publication, Citavi automatically creates a bibliography for all sources cited.

In this chapter you will learn how to:

•Quickly create a formatted list of selected references

•Insert quotations into a word processor and then automatically create a bibliography of the sources used
