Selecting a citation style

The citation style determines the formatting of your bibliography: abbreviated or full author names, italicized journal titles, "see also" references in the footnotes, etc. Several citation styles are preinstalled with Citavi, and you can seamlessly switch to other styles from our library of thousands of styles.

Important

Make sure to also select the style you want to use in the Word Add-In and not only in Citavi.
