Zotero

Import and export functions for the exchange with other literature management programs such as Citavi, Endnote or Mendeley are available. As a literature management program, Zotero supports the editing of bibliographic information and literature lists for Word, LibreOffice and Google Docs.

In addition to the local installation, Zotero offers web access. This allows you to synchronize your own library, share collections with other Zotero members, and access your own collection online. If Zotero is not installed locally, references can also be transferred directly to the online library.
