Adding an Internet Document

Perhaps you have found a Web page that you want to add to Citavi. How do you add it? First, make sure that no text or graphics on the page are highlighted. Then, right-click the selection, point to Citavi Picker, and then click Add webpage as reference.

Citavi Picker übernimmt die Meta-Daten der Webseite und speichert sie in Citavi. Sie erhalten in jedem Fall immer die Internetadresse (URL) der Webseite, den Titel der Webseite und das Datum, an dem Sie die Webseite in Citavi gespeichert haben. Bei der Wikipedia ist eine Besonderheit zu beachten: Hier speichert Citavi den Permalink zu der Version des Artikels, den Sie in Citavi aufnehmen.

In the example you can see the metadata the Picker can find.

Since metadata is often incomplete, you'll often need to correct information in Citavi.

Hint

Often the "last update" date on a website is false, since many websites are dynamically generated using a Content Management System. The date of the last update is then the same as the access date. If in Citavi you see that the Access date and the Last update fields contain the same date, this is suspicious. In this case, double-check the "last update" date. You can usually find it at the bottom of a website.
