Citavi - Reference Management and Knowledge Organization

There’s More to Reference Management
than Managing References

We're working hard here at Swiss Academic Software to bring you Citavi 3, the first version to be released in English. (There will be a preview version when we're closer to a release date. Be sure to sign up for the newsletter below if you want us to let you know.)

Known for its innovative Knowledge Organizer, ease of use, and unrivaled support, Citavi supports you through the entire process of scholarly work (not just creating bibliographies). These strengths have made us a leader in the German-speaking world. With Citavi 3 in English and German, we’re taking Citavi’s unique approach to reference management and knowledge organization worldwide.

Scholarly writing is a process of exploration, summarizing, synthesis, and finally, writing. Each of these steps has different needs, and Citavi supports you in each of those. By lifting the burden of much of the busywork needed in scholarly writing, you are free to spend more time on the subject of your work. Here’s how Citavi can help.
