Information on the New Version Citavi
Since the end of 2024, Citavi version 7 is available. If you wish to update from Citavi 6 to Citavi 7, please back up your project files and custom citation styles beforehand. The manual for Citavi 7 is currently only available in English and has not yet been fully updated. Please note: It is unfortunately not possible to use Citavi 6 and Citavi 7 simultaneously. After switching to Citavi 7, the Word Add-In will only work with the latest Citavi version. However, the update is not mandatory; you can continue working with version 6. The campus license is valid for both versions.
The following new features are available in Citavi 7 (link to further information):
- Improved user interface with a new design
- Improved export with advanced export functions (Excel, references with attachments)
- AI assistant (research, evaluation, annotation of references)
In addition to Citavi, Bayreuth University Library also offers workshops and consultations for the free reference management software Zotero, which is also available in version 7. This update comes with an updated interface, EPUB integration, new tools for the PDF reader, and some minor improvements on different other features.
