Importing Search Results with the Picker
For many online research databases you can quickly use the Picker to add search results to your Citavi project: Aleph catalogs, arxiv.org, EBSCO databases, ERIC, Google Books, Google Scholar, HighWire, OCLC databases, OvidSP databases, and PubMed.
The Picker also recognizes if a database or library catalog offers bibliographic information in the COinS format. If they do, it's possible to directly import search results into the current project.
Please note:
Compared to other formats, the COinS format contains the least information. After importing from COinS, you can retrieve missing bibliographic information. Place the cursor in either the ISBN field (for books) or the PubMed ID or DOI field (for journal articles). Press F9 and select the Replace bibliographic information option.
