Importing a BibTeX File

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}

}
