User Reviews

Citavi Picker is praised for enabling quick and convenient import of citations into the Citavi database, making it valuable for researchers and writers. However, multiple users report compatibility problems with Firefox versions, character encoding issues in localized interfaces, and occasional performance slowdowns when used on certain websites. Some also experience glitches like indefinite loading states during reference import. Despite these issues, it works well for many users and significantly aids academic reference management.

Pros

Allows quick import of citations and references into Citavi library, saving time.
Convenient for researchers, scientists, and academic writers for managing literature.
Functions satisfactorily in Firefox for most users.
Supports multiple languages based on browser settings.

Cons

Compatibility issues with certain Firefox and Citavi versions requiring downgrades.
Character encoding problems causing misrendered accented characters in non-English languages.
Sometimes causes performance issues or slows down specific websites, leading Firefox to suggest disabling the add-on.
Occasionally gets stuck in a loading state during importing, and image quotations may not be added properly.

Is Citavi Picker Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Citavi Picker requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Citavi Picker has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
