This is an unofficial helper package for dealing with Citavi. I am not affiliated with Citavi, just a fan.

Citavi (Official Website, Official GitHub) is a software program for reference management and knowledge organization. When working with local Citavi projects (as opposed to cloud or server projects) you can directly work on the (database stored in) the .ctv6 file via SQL. CitaviR provides functionality for

  1. reading the data from the .ctv6 file
  2. dealing with the data while it is outside Citavi to get the most out of it
  3. writing/updating the data into the .ctv6 file

Installation

You can install the development version of CitaviR from GitHub:

devtools::install_github('SchmidtPaul/CitaviR')

Example

You can find an example workflow on the Get Started page.
