JabRef

JabRef is an open source bibliography reference manager. The native file format used by JabRef is BibTeX, the standard LaTeX bibliography format.
- portable since in Java, relies only on bib file (no separate database), generates clean bib files (no internal fields) Guest • Jul 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Works the best with LaTeX documents, as exporting citations is redundant: JabRef's database is a simple .bib file. Available for all major platforms, offers automatic addition of entries via DOI or arXiv-ID, has everything one needs as a citation and reference manager. Guest • May 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
