Importing references from a Word document with Citavi

At the Tavistock and Portman, we use EndNote Web as a reference management software. But this free version doesn't allow you to import references from a Word document.

If you have the desktop version of EndNote (which costs quite a bit of money), it probably does it. But I wanted to find something free to show you.

So, after investigating quite a bit, I found Citavi.
Its a reference management software, just like EndNote, but its desktop version is free as long as you keep less than 100 references in it. 100 is not that many, but if you just use it to do the very specific task I'm about to show you, it's perfect.
If you want to try it out, you can download it here.


Citavi's import function allows you to extract references from any bit of text you've copy-pasted from anywhere (including Word documents).
If you want to know exactly how to do that, check out the video below.
