Reference management

You would like to use a reference management program to organize the sources and references within your thesis?

The WU Library will be happy to advise you on Citavi, which is available free of charge via a campus license. You can also contact us with questions about the open source products Zotero and Juris-M or the program EndNote.

On Fit4Research, the library's eLearning program, you will find information on licensing and installation, organizing knowledge, etc. We also offer library workshops on the various reference management programs.
