Reference management

Reference management software can be a great help when collecting and evaluating literature. It can be used to record ideas and quotations, evaluate PDF documents or simply create bibliographies. These functions are particularly useful when writing a thesis (bachelor's, master's or doctoral thesis).

If you are not sure which programme to use, please do not hesitate to contact us for advice. In addition to Citavi and Zotero, there are other popular programmes that are examined in more detail in a comprehensive software comparison by the Technical University of Munich.

It can also be useful to write scientific papers using LaTeX or BibTeX. This makes it easier to present mathematical calculations and formulas. These programmes are therefore very common in the fields of mathematics and science. Further information can be found on our specialist information page for computer science and mathematics (in german only).
