Describing References

You can use keywords and categories to organize and describe references.

Use keywords to describe the content of a work. Keywords help you group references in your project and recall the main topics of a work more easily. When you search catalogs and databases online with Citavi, you can import any keywords that may already be present.

Use categories to place a reference into the appropriate context for your project. Categories help you to divide your collected references into hierarchical, manageable units. You can assign one or more categories to a reference.

In the Knowledge Organizer, you can use the navigation pane to browse your references by keyword or category.

Applying Keywords

1.In the Reference Editor, switch to the Context tab.

2.Enter keywords into the Keywords field. A keyword can be a single word or a phrase consisting of several words. Separate keywords with semicolons, for example Bachelor's degree; Bologna Process; Education reform.

Creating Categories

1.In the Reference Editor, switch to the Context tab.

2.Click Categories.

3.Click New category and enter the name of the category.

4.Click New category again to add another category at the same level, or click Subcategory to create a more specific category. For example, you might create Medication as a subcategory of Treatment Methods.

Assigning Categories
