Managing literature
The creation of references and the bibliography in a scientific paper is usually done with the help of a literature management program. These programs enable the import of references from literature databases into a separate management tool as well as the automatic creation of in-text citations and the bibliography. Here, the specifications of the individual journals (outlay styles) for the reference index are already a feature of the program and are automatically implemented.
The MHH has a campus licence for the literature management program RefWorks. It can be used free of charge by all MHH members. The most common outlay style at the MHH is the MHH citation style.
Basic information about citation can be found in the explanations on good scientific practice.

The new MHH CitationStyle is available in RefWorks. There it can be used via a Citation Style Editor (here Institutional Styles). EndNote users can load this file into their EndNote Style Library. This YouTube video offers assistance.
In Zotero, you need to open the preferences and click on the "Cite" tab. Then click on "Get additional styles ..." and search for "MHH". Once you have selected "Hannover Medical School", the style is available to you.
