I use Citavi, since my University has a license for it. I really like how Citavi lets me preview papers. It’s super handy when I’m trying to find something but can’t remember the paper’s name or author.

Ultimately, the choice between Citavi and Zotero depends on your preferred organizational style.

Citavi tends to offer a more structured and visually organized approach, while Zotero provides flexibility for users to tailor their organization based on individual workflows.
