Citavi’s extensive features and possibilities:

• ‘Citavi can do a lot’
• “Citavi has more functionality than I was previously aware of.’
• ”Citavi can do more than I ever expected.’
• ’Lots of new ways to use Citavi and structure my literature sensibly. I know Citavi, but I wasn’t aware of the range of features. These were explained really well.’
• ‘Citavi is more than just an automatic bibliography generator.’
• “Citavi is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool.’
• ”Citavi makes it easier to find and capture publications.’
• ’I gained initial insights into which Citavi functions are available to me and how to access them.’
• ‘There are a number of small details/functions that I was not familiar with.’

Use for scientific work and future projects:

• “I will definitely use it for my master’s thesis here at the institute.’
• ”Also very useful for later scientific work.’
• ‘How I can use Citavi in the future.’
• “I will definitely use Citavi for my future literature research.’
• ”Since I’m writing papers for my doctoral thesis in the near future, Citavi is definitely worthwhile.’

Efficient work and knowledge acquisition:

• “Efficient searching’
• ”Quick help, help etc. in Citavi’
• ‘Thanks to the seminar, I learned some more helpful tips that make working with Citavi even easier.’
• “Proper use of knowledge’
• ”Deeper knowledge of Citavi functions that I didn’t know before.’

Knowledge organisation and reference management:

• ’In addition to reference management, make more use of knowledge organisation in Citavi.’
• ‘Create categories in Citavi and generate a draft for the paper directly.’
• “I had only worked with Citavi once before and used the database primarily to create a bibliography and to sort the various papers by ”question’ as a category. But the possibility of linking to pdf documents and marking and transferring quotations into the database is new and very interesting for me.’
  ‘It’s worth working through the literature from the outset in Citavi to build up a framework for the publication.’

Teamwork and sharing:

• ‘I know how to organise the reference, how to extract info (texts, figures) with citations from the papers, and to work on the paper together with team.’
• ’Because it allows me to always have my references and my train of thought in order. It also allows me to easily collaborate with others and share my work.’

Positive overall feedback:

• ‘On the whole, super informative, gives a good overview, helped me a lot!’
• ’The variety of relief from using Citavi for publications. The link with supporting information was also very good, because only by doing it while working on my own specific tasks does a deeper familiarisation make sense.’
