Inserting References with Options

When working with author-date styles, you can use quick insert options to insert references in different formats. Select a reference and click one of the quick insert options. Instead of the standard formatting (Miller 2013) you will see one of the following:

• Clicking (Person) results in (Miller)
• Clicking (Year) results in (2013)
• Clicking Person (Year) results in Miller (2013). You can enter additional text between the author and the date fields.

In addition to the quick insert options, you can also insert a reference with other formatting. Year only, Person only and Person (Year) are the same as the quick insert options. Here they can also be combined with the option No parentheses:

Other options:

• Page range: If you want to cite the page numbers for a certain reference, enter them in the Page range field. Never simply type the page numbers in the field in your document! Otherwise, these page numbers will be overwritten the next time the file is refreshed (see Important Information). Always enter the complete page range in the Page range field, e.g. 14-15. The citation style needs this information in order to apply the correct formatting: p. 14–15, p. 14f. or pp. 14-15.
• Prefix: Add additions such as "c.f." or "see". Additions you enter here will be formatted according to your citation style. For example, in some citation styles, the first word in a footnote will be capitalized automatically.
• Suffix: Add additions such as "etc.".
• Numbering type: As a default, Citavi treats the numbers entered in the Page range field as pages. If necessary, change the type to columns, section numbers, margin numbers, or other so Citavi uses the right prefix (Col., Nr., §) as it's defined in your citation style. Use the Other option to manually enter complex ranges with multiple prefixes, e.g. §14 Col. 12.
• Numeral system: Here you can switch from Arabic to Roman numerals.
• Bibliography entry: As a default, every reference inserted into your document will also appear in the bibliography. With this option you can tell the Word Add-In that a reference should not appear in the text but only in the bibliography (/bibonly). You can also specify that a reference should only appear in the text but not in the bibliography (/nobib). When using this option, make sure that the cursor is not in the bibliography field.
• Rule set: The citation style you choose determines whether a reference is inserted in the text or in the footnotes. You can choose to insert a reference using the other rule set if you want to use alternative formatting. For example, you might want to enter a complete citation for one reference in your text the way it would appear in the bibliography.
• Format option (1, 2, 3): Some styles contain rules for formatting upon a second citation. For example, a source might be cited fully the first time. If the same reference is cited directly after the first, "ibid." might be used. Sometimes you might want to suppress this automatic formatting if "ibid." appears as the first reference on a new page. Some citation styles let you do this with an option. Other styles may use the options for other alternative formatting.
• Insert as: When you insert a reference, the citation style controls whether it is entered in the text or in the footnotes. You can override this setting by choosing here where the reference should be inserted.
