Citavi

Citavi is a reference management and knowledge organization program for Microsoft Windows published by Swiss Academic Software in Wädenswil, Switzerland. There is also an interface called Citavi Web which can be used on a Mac. Citavi is widely used in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with site licenses at most universities, many of which offer training sessions and settings files for Citavi.

In February of 2021, Swiss Academic Software was bought by QSR International.

In 2022, with the financial backing of TA Associates (a private equity firm), QSR International joined forces with two partners, Palisade and Addinsoft, to found Lumivero, a new data analytics software platform.

Citavi began as a reference management program called LiteRat, developed at the Heinrich Heine University in 1995, and considered version 1.0. The first version to bear the Citavi name was released as Citavi 2. Version 3 was released in November 2010 and was the first version with a user interface in English. Since version 4, released in April 2013, it is possible to switch between English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish. Citavi 5 was released in April 2015, with editions for single users and teams. In February 2018, Citavi 6 added the ability to save projects in the Citavi Cloud and to share them with other users with differentiated access rights.

Citavi can be used in a virtual machine on Linux or Mac OS. Swiss Academic Software discontinued development for an OS X native application in 2011.

Since 2022, a new version for the web (Citavi Web) is available and makes it possible to be completely free of the operating system: only a web browser is needed to access the trial version (30-day trial with 1 GB of storage in the Citavi Cloud).

Cloud projects are saved in the Citavi Cloud, and local projects are saved on the hard drive of the computer. Cloud projects can be shared with others, the roles that can be assigned are Reader, Author and Project leader.

Citavi's core features are reference management, knowledge organization, and task planning. Citavi's integrated quick help in context is backed up by online help tools including an online manual, an email tutorial, videos, an actively managed user forum and, for users with a license, personal support.
