Unit 2 - Research and organization

How do I organize my literature?

You can use reference management software to organize and manage your literature. Here, we present Zotero as an example. It is open source and free, and works on all common operating systems. There are also other programs for managing your literature, e.g. Citavi and EndNote. You have a license for these (Citavi and EndNote) through the University of Jena. Find out more about all licenses provided to you by the University of Jena (see unit Software for research).

You can get training on how to use these tools (Zotero, EndNote and Citavi) at the ThULB. For Zotero and Citavi, there are self learning courses available (some only in German), and you can participate in in person or online trainings on how to use these programs. Find out more about these learning opportunities at ThULB.
