Managing bibliographies and references
  • The problem: one source, many uses.  Journal style requirements.
  • Software: a database
  • Integration with your writing system
  • Importing PDF and PDF metadata
  • Different bibliography styles
  • Reference Management Software
Examples

Free
Free-ish

Commercial
Different idea, but very useful
Comparison of features
LaTeX and BibTeX

  • the BibTeX database format:

    @article{wuja-note,
    author="Dominik Wujastyk",
    title = "The Paper I Wrote",
    journal = "Journal of Daft Ideas",
    year = "2012",
    volume= 33,
    part ="2",
    pages = "99-199"
    }
Old: BibTeX (bibtex program)

  • \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{natbib}
    \begin{document}
    This is the case \citep{wuja-note}
    \bibliographystyle{JRAS}
    \bibliography{biblio-file}
    \end{document}

    >

    This is the case (Wujastyk 2012).

      language=auto,

      natbib=true]{biblatex}
    \addbibresource[datatype=bibtex]{biblio-file.bib}
    \begin{document}
    This is the case \citep{wuja-note}.
    \printbibliography
    \end{document}
