"Appointment and Bibliographic Reference Manager"
What do you like best about Citavi?

One of the best features of the Citavi software is the organized management and administration of bibliographic textual citations through tags and categories, in addition to the ability to include citations and references directly in our writing as we work on it (and the required citation style). The Add-on in Microsoft Word greatly facilitates this process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Citavi?

It does not have extensions or add-ons for free office suites, such as OpenOffice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very impressed about the application and services"
What do you like best about Citavi?

I use Citavi for my scientific work in research. citavi has a cloud access which I think is great. The application runs extremely reliably. If questions arise, there is a wide range of tutorials and communities. I think it has become the benchmark in reference management. I had direct email contact with the specialists from citavi for specific questions. They are very friendly and very helpful. In the meantime I have collected and categorized over 2000 sources via citavi. These can be called up directly via my Word document in a separate integrated button. I would like to claim that citavi made significant progress with my dissertation. My fellow students are also impressed by Citavi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"intuitive, well developed software with great support"
What do you like best about Citavi?

Citavi is a great software to manage knowledge and to avoid chaos in citing. I can recommend it to students and scientists and everyone else who wants to organize research and whatever kind of publications or knowledge. The use of the software is easy to learn and when something is unclear, the user will find answers in the user forum or in the great other support tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Citavi?

Unfortunately Citavi only works with windows. I'm looking forward to the web version! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"indispensable tool "
What do you like best about Citavi?

It is easy to format references in an article to meet any publisher's demands. It is also easy to create bibliographies for students.

I also like the ease with which I can quote sources and the fact that all citations in my documents appear in the Bibliography. What is more, it is easy to edit the citations, much easier than, for example, in programs that come with document writer programs.

It also helps my students organize their reading assignments and notes so that they can better prepare for exams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Citavi?

I wish there were a way to sync my references across folders. It would also be helpful if there were a way to sync between computers. Only being able to have two downloaded versions of the program is quite difficult if one is moving between computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Bibliography and Note-taking program"
What do you like best about Citavi?

It's hard to think of just one -- so I won't. It's easy to add references, easy to categorize them and use the category system to organize papers and book-length work. I use a bibliography project to easily organize reading from web pages, too. It interfaces easily with Word documents... and much more. The tech support has been great. When I first set up work in Citavi, the tech support provided a beta version of a utility to convert my bibliographic entries from another less-used program. I may have used tech support once or twice in the past few years since then. The issue was always resolved within 24 hours.

This is a great program for academics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Citavi?

A couple of journals I write for were missing from the options for formatting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Citation Program Ever! "
What do you like best about Citavi?

I first purchased Citavi in 2012 and when I reached out to their Customer Service (CS) I was impressed with the level of assistance I was provided. I was asking for a feature that had not yet been developed but one of their CS reps developed a work around so that I could still accomplish my task. Ever since then I was a dedicated customer of Citavi and have purchased every major upgrade as they become available. I have recommended Citavi to a colleague who purchased it for her university lab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Citavi?

I have been completely happy with the all the work the Citavi team have provided with each upgrade that I cannot think of anything I dislike about the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
