Literature management programs (Citavi, EndNote, Zotero)

What are literature management programs?
Literature management programs help you keep track of the literature you found. To do this, you enter the relevant bibliographic data, such as title and author, by hand or transfer the data directly from the library catalog or a database to the literature management program during research.

In addition to managing your literature, literature management programs support you in writing scientific texts. References and supporting documents can be inserted directly into the text document, and the previously selected citation style ensures consistency and clarity.
