Citavi 7

Citavi is a program for reference management and knowledge organization for Microsoft Windows published by Swiss Academic Software in Wädenswil, Switzerland. Citavi is very widely used in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland,[1] with site licenses at most universities,[2] many of which offer training sessions and settings files for Citavi.

Versions[edit]

Instead of googling for hours, use Citavi to search your library's catalogs and research databases for new sources. This helps you find the right texts faster and saves you time and trouble. Cite Books, Journal Articles, Webpages, etc. Use Citavi to cite any source you need for your papers. Citavi for mac 如何安装? 教程 by Henry Wang.

Technische Informationen zum Download; Vorgehen zur Freischaltung der Vollversion Citavi for Windows Since Citavi cannot communicate with Word for Mac directly, you have to paste Citavi placeholders into the text manually. To make this easier, you can set the Publication Assistant to copy the placeholder to the Clipboard just by double-clicking.

Citavi began as a reference management program called LiteRat, developed at the Heinrich Heine University in 1995, and considered version 1.0.[3] The first version to bear the Citavi name was released as Citavi 2. Version 3 was released in November 2010 and was the first version with a user interface in English. Since version 4, released in April 2013, it is possible to switch between English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish.[4] Citavi 5 was released in April 2015, with editions for single users and teams. In February 2018, Citavi 6 adds the features to save projects in the Citavi Cloud and to share them with other users with differentiated access rights.

Citavi can be used in a virtual machine on Linux or OS X.[5] Swiss Academic Software discontinued development for an OS X native application in 2011.[6] A web version is being developed which will be operating system agnostic.

Products[edit]

  • Citavi Free can be downloaded at no cost from the website, but it is limited to 100 references per project (in Citavi lingo, databases are called projects). There is no limit on the number of projects. Cloud projects are saved in the Citavi Cloud, and local projects are saved on the hard drive of the computer. Cloud projects can be shared with others, the roles that can be assigned are Reader, Author and Project leader.
  • With a Citavi for Windows license, this limit is lifted.
  • Citavi for DBServer licenses enable institutions and companies to save project data in a MS SQL Server in their Intranet. User access is managed via Active Directory, concurrent access for unlimited users with individual access rights to database is possible.

Features[edit]

Citavi's core features are reference management, knowledge organization, and task planning. Citavi's integrated quick help in context is backed up by online help tools including an online manual, an email tutorial, videos, an actively managed user forum and, for users with a license, personal support.[7]

Reference management[edit]

  • Management of 35 reference types for common sources like books, articles, lectures, audio or video documents, etc.
  • Online search in thousands of databases (among others, in PubMed, Web of Science, etc.) and library catalogs,[8][9] support of the COinS method to grab bibliographic information from publisher websites and subscription to RSS feeds from within Citavi.
  • The Citavi Picker add ons for Internet browsers Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome[10] recognize ISBN numbers, DOI names, PubMed identifier, PubMed Central ID and arXiv id on web pages, the corresponding titles can be imported into Citavi with a click. Web pages can be imported as a reference and transformed into a PDF document to save the content of the page. The Citavi Picker for Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat Reader can import PDF documents, bibliographical information is automatically added if available.
  • PDF documents can be annotated directly in Citavi.,[11] Their full text is included in the Citavi search if extractable.
  • Citavi integrates with various word processors.
    • Citavi's add in for Microsoft Word permits to insert citations and quotations from Citavi into Word without leaving the word processor. The bibliography is created automatically.
    • Several LaTeX editors can be used to directly insert quotations and configurable cite commands (i.e. cite{Smith2013}) per keyboard shortcut. Citavi connects with LyX via a named pipe (Configuration guide; PDF; 1.2 MB).
    • In OpenOffice and LibreOffice Writer, and any other program that can process files in RTF (i.e. Scrivener) placeholders are inserted into the text, with subsequent formatting in one of the included citation styles. [only up to version Citavi 5]
  • Publishing in all common citation styles. Over 9,300 citation styles are available (6 August 2018). Registered users can request styles for scientific journals for free.[12] Citavi's citation style editor supports programmable components and templates, an advanced style finder is available to search with style features to find a fitting style.

Knowledge organization[edit]

  • Citavi can extract text excerpts and images from documents as quotations, and organize them together with own ideas imported as 'thoughts'.[13] Quotations and thoughts can be copied into the word processor, citations are added automatically. There are five types of quotations and two further types of ideas for text and images.
  • When annotated in Citavi, quotations and comments in PDF documents are linked to the exact position in the PDF document.
  • Citations, quotations and ideas can be categorized in Citavi to reflect the structure in chapters of the final publication, making it possible to outline the paper before beginning the actual writing process.[14]

Task planner[edit]

  • Citavi includes a task planner for scheduling tasks and project milestones[15] to organize deadlines like lending periods for books. Tasks like 'Discuss' or 'Examine' can be linked to specific parts in PDF documents.
  • In Cloud and DBServer projects it is possible to assign tasks to other team members.

Compatibility[edit]

Citavi can export data in different formats to other reference management programs,[16] and Citavi can import references from other reference management programs, either directly, as from EndNote or BibTeX, or with an import filter or via a RIS export file, as from Mendeley, ProCite, Reference Manager, RefMe, RefWorks, Zotero, and others.[17]

Right now, Citavi runs only on Windows. However, you have a few different options if you want to use Citavi on your Mac. There are three third-party solutions (Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, and Oracle VirtualBox) which let you run a real copy of Windows on your Mac. These so-called virtual machines run Windows at the same time as Mac OS X, so you don't have to reboot. This step-by-step guide will help you set up Citavi, Parallels Desktop, and Microsoft Word for Mac so that they work together optimally.

What You Need

To run Citavi on a Mac using Parallels, you need the following:

  • A Mac with an Intel processor. Any Mac model introduced since mid-2006 meets this requirement.
  • At least 4 GB RAM.
  • A current copy of Parallels Desktop for Mac.
  • A copy of Windows 10, 8 or 7. We recommend Windows 10, but this guide assumes you are using Windows 7. If you are migrating an existing PC that you plan to retire from use, and it is running one of these versions of Windows, you can migrate its copy of Windows so you don't have to buy another copy.
  • Microsoft Word for Windows (version 2010 or later). If you want to use Citavi's Word Add-In you need to use Microsoft Word for Windows in the Windows environment. Alternatively, you can use a local or web-based TeX editor. You can first copy the BibTeX keys to the Clipboard and then into your TeX program.

Before you begin, you may find it interesting and useful to read the Parallels Desktop User's Guide. It covers the myriad features Parallels offers.

Step 1: Install Parallels

The installation will run automatically once you start the Setup. If you need help, see chapter 2 of the Parallels Desktop User's Guide or the document Getting Started with Parallels Desktop.

Step 2: Install Windows

Depending on whether you have a Windows disc or .iso file, or whether you are migrating an existing PC, the process is a little different.

To install from a Windows disc or .iso file, follow the instructions in the following guide: How to install a Windows virtual machine on Mac using Parallels Desktop

Important: At the Integration with Mac step of the Parallels Wizard, be sure to choose Like a Mac. This ensures maximum integration of both systems, and the rest of this visual guide assumes that you selected this option.

If you do not use the Express installation option, or if you migrate an existing PC, be sure to install Parallels Tools if it doesn't happen automatically.

Complete instructions for all the installation scenarios in Parallels can be found in chapter 3 of the Parallels Desktop User's Guide.

Step 3: Run Windows Update

No matter how new your copy of Windows is, there are always updates for it, and to ensure maximum security of your system, you want to have the latest updates.

Right-click the Parallels menu in the menu bar to show the Windows Start menu. Begin typing Windows Update in the Search field and then click Windows Update to begin.

Run Windows Update repeatedly until no more updates are offered.

Step 4: Install Word for Windows

If you want to write papers with Word and not with LaTeX, install Microsoft Word 2010 or later. Please make sure that you are using Word for Windows and not Word for Mac.

Step 5: Install Firefox or Chrome and Adobe Reader (optional)

If you want to use the Pickers in Firefox, Chrome, or Adobe Reader, you will need to install the Windows versions of each of those programs. For each one:

Download the program from the respective website.

  • Chrome: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html or Firefox: www.getfirefox.com
  • Adobe Reader: get.adobe.com/reader (If you have a full version of Adobe Acrobat use this instead of Adobe Reader).

It doesn't matter whether you download with your Mac or Windows browser.

Run the downloaded Setup. (Unless you chose another folder, it will be in your Mac's Downloads folder.) When you double-click the Setup in the Finder, it will open in Parallels.

Step 6: Install Citavi

Visit www.citavi.com/download and download the latest version of Citavi. It doesn't matter whether you do this with your Mac or Windows browser.

Run the downloaded Citavi6Setup.exe file (Unless you chose another folder, it will be in your Mac's Downloads folder.) When you double-click it in the Finder, it will open in Parallels.

If you have existing Citavi projects you want to migrate, copy the Citavi folder for user files (by default, that is the folder Citavi 6 inside Documents) to your Documents folder on the Mac.

Step 7: Unlock Citavi for Windows

After installation, you will be working with Citavi Free. To use Citavi for Windows, you need a license.

Warning:

Citavi 6 Key

Do not force quit Parallels, and do not use the Stop command in Parallels unless the Windows virtual machine has crashed. Both of these can lead to data loss, the same way that unplugging a desktop PC while it is running can lead to data loss. Always shut down or suspend Windows as described above.
When you're done using Citavi, the very best thing is to fully shut down Windows. To do so, right-click the Parallels menu to open the Windows Start menu, then click Shut down. Do not quit Parallels until Windows has finished shutting down!
If you are in a hurry, instead of shutting down Windows, you can suspend it. To suspend, just click the Parallels menu and click Quit Parallels. Parallels will quickly save Windows' state. When you start Parallels again, it will resume Windows as it was. There is, however, a slightly higher risk of data loss with this method.
