Export HTML, Docbook, BibTeXML, MODS, RTF, Refer or Endnote, OpenOffice.org, manage, search through BibTeX files. The program runs on Java and works with Microsoft® Windows®, Linux®, and Mac® OS X® operating systems. If you're looking for a cross-platform BibTeX reference manager, JabRef is the perfect tool. Author: Josh Cassidy (July 2013) For years LaTeX users have been using BibTeX along with multiple additional packages such as natbib to write bibliographies. However, now there's a new option, BibLaTeX. May 30, 2019.

BibTex is a program that reads entries from a database of citationsbased on the output of LATEX andthen makes a bibliography file thatLATEX can insert into thedocument. There is lots to say about BibTex (and some good manuals that doit well) but here are some essentials I have found useful and not coveredin the books. (There is a lot to say and learn about LATEX too).
Finding the material for a BibTex database is a chapter of itsown, covered at least briefly at http://www.sci.utah.edu/~macleod/litbase
There is a repository ofbibtex files available for use at the SCI Institute.
Quick Links:
There are a suggestions when using BibTex:
The default location for the Bibtex files for a document are in the samedirectory as that document. A slightly better solution is to have adirectory that holds all your Bibtex files and then hard-wire the commandsin LateX to find those files.
A better way (the best way?) is to store all your Bibtex files in oneplace in your computer, ideally managed through a system like Subversion,and then to tell the Bibtex program where to look. How this works dependson the operating system and the Bibtex application, of course, but here aresome typical examples. I found a lot of this information at this web site by Julien Dutant .
NIH requires public disclosure of journal articles supported by NIHfunding and all such articles receive a code called the PMCID as part ofthe PubMed system. As an NIH funded researcher, you MUST include this codeevery time you cite such a reference, especially in progress reports,proposals, and biosketches.
To support this code in BibTeX, I have created a slightly modifiedversion of one of the most common BibTeX style files (.bst), which isavailable here.
To use this new style file,
To edit a BibTex file, you can use any editor but emacs has lots ofgreat support for this process. The ones I like are Nelson Beebe's emacstools found at www.math.utah.edu/pub/emacs/, in particular bibtoolsand bibtex-support.
Bibtex Tool
Here is what my .emacs contains to access these:
Note that these commands assume a subdirectory called emacs/lispin which the require lisp code (.el or .elc files) isavailable.
There are some other fun software tools that can make life easier withBibTex. Most are in the public domain in one form or another and I haveincluded links where I had them--if the links fail, use Google and pleaselet me know ([email protected]).
Latex Download Windows 105.1 EndNoteLatex Download Free
EndNote is notreally a program that works on BibTexfiles but it does manage citationswell and it has some support for BibTex that can make it useful.
See endnote.html for moredetails on how to convert between Endnote and BibTex.
5.2 bibclean
The goal of bibclean is to clean up syntax and layout errors in BibTexfiles so that all entries have a nice, clean look that is consistent. Theprogram will also reveal some errors in the file, which can be veryhelpful! To get bibclean, surf on over to
www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibclean/and thank Nelson Beebe for making this available.
Here are some direct links that might be helpful
One of the many arguments to bibclean essential for SCI databases, ifonly because it is the convention we had adopted:which I actually alias to bibclean so that I don't forget!
5.3 Mendeley
The free literature databased program Meddeley has support for Bibtex output.
5.4 Converting from Word bibliography to BibTex
This is truly amazing! There is a website called hubmed.orgthat will convert from Word document text that you copy to the web pageinto Bibtex files! It actually works.
This program is some sort of search engine interface to Pubmed and itmanages to parse the text and propose matches for each entry in thebibliography. I am really impressed with this tool!
5.5 Testing a BibTex file
There is a simple way to test a BibTex file for completeness usingLATEX and the bibtex commands fromyour own computer. Testing is a good plan, especially if you do it afterediting the file and not when you are in a hurry and have to build adocument using the file.
To test a BibTex file, make a LaTeX file, call it testbib.texwith the following contents:where ``sci' is the name of the BibTex file to test.
Then runand the output will list all the errors or warnings resulting from tryingto parse the file sci.bib. Some of the output will be warningsthat you can ignore but other errors can be fatal the next time you use thefile.
5.5 BibDesk
BibDesk is a Mac OSX program to edit and manage your bibliography. It willkeep track of both the bibliographic information and the associated filesor web links for you. Read more atbibdesk.sourceforge.net/.
5.6 JabRef
JabRef is a new cross platform,open source program to edit and manage your bibliography. It performssearches and downloads articles (assuming they are open access) and seemsto have a lot of customlization options. It claims to integrate well withmany LaTeX systems/editors, including eXstudio, LyX, Kile, LatexEditor,Emacs, Vim, and WinEdt. Last modified: Sat Mar 25 08:37:38 MDT 2017
