This video shows how to build a knowledgebase in Citavi from the ground up: importing references, editing bibliographic metadata, generating category structures, extracting citations, tagging keywords and exporting bibliographies.

Balancing the need for intra and extratextual annotation with the sort of citation tree I covered in the last video, gives rise to a new set of infrastructural problems that can only be resolved with the additional organizational power of a knowledgebase. In this video I will compare Evernote, Mendeley, Zotero and Citavi and explore their ability to resolve these problems, focusing on Citavi and its unique ability to generate microthematic metadata.
This is tutorial on how to annotate PDFs in Adobe Acrobat geared primarily for scholars in the humanities. The chances of actually making use of our notes, as I’ve argued earlier, hinges heavily upon their immanent visibility – being able to see which passages have been annotated within a text without having to cross-reference separate documents. Shifting to digital text not only enhances their searchability and modularity, it also allows us to layer annotation and citation within the text itself.
