Reference Management

Reference management software is useful for scientific work. They facilitate the systematic collection and organisation of literature references and help with correct citation and the creation of bibliographies in the selected citation style. The Library offers all students and staff at TU Graz free access to Citavi and Mendeley. Zotero is an open source programme and free of charge. You can find a comparison of other reference management software in the overview provided by TU Munich.

After leaving Graz University of Technology (e.g. due to graduation or end of employment), access to Citavi and Mendeley via your university email address may no longer be possible. To retain access, you should add a private email address to your account or export your data.
