JabRef - General information
JabRef is an open source bibliography reference manager based on the BibTeX-format (like BibSonomy). Starting with version 2.4b1, JabRef can be extended using a plugin system based on the Java Plugin Framework (JPF). We have now built a BibSonomy plugin for JabRef that allows a user to directly access their publications from BibSonomy.
This plugin enables you to:
- Fetch publication entries directly from BibSonomy,
- Upload publications into your personal account on BibSonomy,
- Delete entries from your collection.
For example, you can do the following:
- Download your complete BibSonomy collection into JabRef, use its built-in bibtex-key generator to unify the bibtex keys of your publicatons, and upload all entries again.
- Download your complete BibSonomy collection into JabRef, perform integrity checks on it (missing fields, etc), and upload all entries again.
- Use JabRef's web search facility to import entries (e.g, from PubMed), edit them locally to your needs, and bulk-upload them to BibSonomy.
All of the above integrates seamlessly into the usual workflow of JabRef
- this means you don't have to visit the BibSonomy web interface during the whole process.
