Bibliographies in LaTeX using BibTeX for sorting only. The biblatex package is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX in conjunction with BibTeX. It redesigns the way in which LaTeX interacts with BibTeX at a fairly fundamental level. With biblatex, BibTeX is only used to sort the bibliography and to generate labels. Instead of being implemented in BibTeX's style files, the formatting of the bibliography is entirely controlled by TeX macros. Good working knowledge in LaTeX should be sufficient to design new bibliography and citation styles — there is no need to learn BibTeX’s postfix stack language. Just like the bibliography styles, all citation commands may be freely (re)defined.
Referencer is a Gnome application to organise documents or references, and ultimately generate a BibTeX bibliography file. Referencer includes a number of features to make this process easier: * Smart web links Referencer uses documents' metadata to provide handy links to the document's web location — no need to maintain your own bookmarks. * Import from BibTeX, Reference Manager and EndNote No need to start from scratch — Referencer will import your existing bibliography files using the BibUtils library. * Tagging No need to organise your documents into rigid directory trees — with Referencer you can use tags to categorise your documents. * Automatic arXiv, PubMed and CrossRef metadata retrieval If you show Referencer a PDF which has an arXiv ID or DOI code, Referencer will retrieve the metadata for this document over the internet. * Python plugin support Referencer can be extended using the versatile Python scripting language. * Localisation
n Deutsch gibt \bibliography{} standardmäßig eine Bibliographie mit der Überschrift Literatur aus. Wünscht man stattdessen als Überschrift zum Beispiel Quellen, so verwende man vor dem Befehl \bibliography{}: \renewcommand\refname{Quellen} (für Dokumente vom Typ article) bzw. \renewcommand\bibname{Quellen} (für Dokumente vom Typ book und report).
This database provides style files (bst and sty) for use with LaTeX documents using BibTeX or AMSrefs to manage the bibliography. The styles are referenced by the academic journals to which they apply. Search the database below or read the FAQ for more information.
Use BibDesk to edit and manage your bibliography. It will keep track of both the bibliographic information and the associated files or web links for you. BibDesk’s services will simplify using your bibliography in other applications and are particularly well suited for LATEX users.
BibDesk is a bibliographic reference manager for Mac OS X. BibDesk is designed to help organize and use bibliographic databases in BibTeX .bib format. In addition to manual typing, BibDesk lets you drag & drop or cut & paste .bib files into the bibliographic database and automatically opens files downloaded from PubMed. BibDesk also keeps track of electronic copies of literature on your computer and allows for searching your database through several keys.
BibDesk integrates well with TeX for creating citations and bibliographies. This integration includes a Citation search completion service, and drag & drop (cut & paste) support for adding citations to TeX files.
Bibliographic management and citation formatting are central to the practice of all manner of research. The current bibliographic software landscape is divided broadly between a commercial market characterized by buggy software and glacial innovation, and an open software ecosystem built around BibTeX.
BibTeX’s success is a function of three factors. First, BibTeX was designed to solve real needs: allowing LaTeX users to format their manuscripts according to detailed publisher specifications. Second, it has a dedicated styling language to configure such formatting. Finally, it focuses on a single task: bibliographic and citation encoding and formatting. As a result, a variety of tools have been built around it. A GUI application designer can simply focus on how best to manage references, without having to worry about the obscure complexities of bibliographic and citation formatting.
Nevertheless, BibTeX is otherwise quite limited. Its data model is unsuitable for demanding users in the social sciences and humanities, it has no international support, its styling language is written in an obscure language that is very difficult to work with, and it is limited to LaTeX.
