Citation management


Citation management software 

The library provides assistance in learning about and using various reference management programs.

What do these programs entail?

Citation management software is structured in a very similar way, consisting of two main parts in almost all cases: 

  • I.    Library application
  • You can collect your references in the library. These references can be added in various ways: they can be imported (e.g. based on DOI, from downloaded RIS format references) or added manually. References collected in the library can be modified, expanded or deleted at any time.

  • II.   Word plug-in module
  • With the help of the plug-in module, you can insert the references from your library into your texts. This module usually needs to be installed separately.

 Why are these programs important?

  • - With their help, you can easily insert citations into your texts.
  • - With a single click, you can change the citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) for your entire text and bibliography
  • - You can insert items stored in your citation libraries into any of your future texts at any time, so you can reuse items you have entered once

How can references be collected in your own library module?

  • - From major bibliographic databases such as WoS and Scopus
  • - From the PTE Corvina website
  • - Based on DOI
  • - Manually entered
