Encyclopedia Entries

2 Add each entry as a Contribution:

3 For articles from online encyclopedias, such as Encyclopaedia Britannica or Wikipedia, add each individual article as an Internet document:

Hint

Some citation styles have special requirements for citing encyclopedia entries, for example, New Political Economy. To make sure these rules are applied, enter the word encyclopedia in Custom field 1. Additional information can be found in each citation style's description, which you can see when changing the style in Citavi.
