Inserting References into a Publication |
|
|
Using the Publication Assistant, you can easily insert references into your document. Depending on your settings, Citavi can insert the reference in the main body of the text or in a footnote.
Even though Word is used as the example below, the instructions also apply to OpenOffice.org Writer and OpenOffice.org Writer Portable.
Inserting Placeholders
1.In Citavi, open the project that you want to use for your document.
2.On the Citation menu, click Publication Assistant and switch to the References tab. Click Float on the toolbar of the Publication Assistant to keep the window floating over your word processor and to hide other Citavi windows.
3.Highlight the reference that you want to insert in your document
4.Switch to your document and place the insertion point in the spot where you want the placeholder to be inserted. Choose one of the following options:
•To insert the placeholder directly into the body of your text, click Insert in Word.
•To insert the placeholder as a footnote, click Insert in Word as footnote.
•To insert with additional formatting options, click Copy or insert with options
Hint: You can also insert placeholders simply by double-clicking (and thus save a lot of time) if you first change your settings under Tools > Options > General > Publication Assistant.
Multiple Citations
Often, you will cite several sources for a single claim. Simply insert the placeholder for each reference directly beside the others and Citavi will automatically merge them into a multiple citation according to the selected citation style:
{Norman 2002}{Nielsen 2000}{Tufte 2006} becomes (Norman 2002; Nielsen 2000; Tufte 2006) using the Citavi Default Style.
To force Citavi to create individual citations for each reference, separate each placeholder with a non-breaking space (in Word, type Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar).
Important: Notes such as "cf." must not be inside the placeholder. Make sure they are outside the braces to ensure the document formats correctly.
