Importing a BibTeX File

  Previous Topic Next topic  

Citavi can import and export bibliographic information in BibTeX format. A typical BibTeX entry looks like this:
 

@book{Handke.2006,

 year = {2006},

 title = {The virtual linguistics campus:  Strategies and concepts for successful e-learning},

 address = {M\"unster},

 publisher = {Waxmann},

 isbn = {978-3-8309-1689-5},

 editor = {Handke, J\"urgen and Franke, Peter}

}

Importing a BibTeX File

Many web-based databases support direct export to Citavi. See Searching Web-Based Databases and Importing Search Results for more information.

If you have a BibTeX file (with the .bib file name extension) on your computer already, double-click it to start the import or drag it into the navigation pane in the Reference Editor.
