Your digital assistant for scientific work

Literature management programs (e.g. Zotero, Citavi, EndNote, Mendeley) collect, organise and cite sources automatically. They save time, increase accuracy and facilitate collaboration.

  • Notes & annotations - Highlight, annotate and link to literature.
  • Citation & bibliography - Thousands of citation styles; plug-ins for Word, LibreOffice, Google Docs & LaTeX; automatic update.
  • Collaboration - Share common libraries, exchange comments.
  • Export/Import - Formats such as BibTeX, RIS, EndNote XML for LaTeX & other systems.

What do you use it for?

  • Research - Quickly record all sources found.
  • Scientific writing - Error-free citations and consistent bibliographies.
  • Team projects - Shared library for all project members.
  • Traceability - Complete documentation of sources and notes.
