Citation styles

The Chair of Application Systems and E-Business provides citation styles for Citavi and Zotero that are adapted to the guidelines for academic work and can be used for seminar papers, theses, and project work, for example.

Note:

• The Chair does not guarantee the correctness of the citation styles.


• The correct functioning of the citation styles depends to a large extent on the proper care of the data by the students in the software.
