Manage academic sources, organize knowledge, and accelerate research writing with AI-powered reference management.

For writers and translators engaged in academic or research-heavy projects, Citavi solves the core challenge of managing overwhelming amounts of information. Instead of juggling scattered PDFs, browser tabs, and note-taking apps, you get a single, structured environment. The platform allows you to import articles, books, and webpages, or search academic databases directly. As you read, you can highlight PDFs and use the browser picker to capture quotations and ideas, which are automatically linked back to their source. This is where Citavi moves beyond basic reference managers. Its AI Assistant can summarize dense articles or technical passages, helping you grasp key takeaways faster. You can then organize these captured insights into a flexible outline, essentially building your paper's structure before you start writing. When you're ready to draft, Citavi exports everything to Microsoft Word and handles all citations automatically, drawing from a library of over 11,000 styles. This integrated workflow—from gathering sources to a fully cited manuscript—makes the research writing process manageable and rigorous.
