Creating a Publication with LaTeX

You are using LaTeX to write a thesis or journal submission. Using Citavi you can insert your sources and quotations with the corresponding BibTeX-Key into your TeX document. Citavi will automatically create the BibTeX file that your TeX program needs in order to creat the final version of your document.
