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

• JabRef - works with LaTeX, LibreOffice and OpenOffice. JSTOR lookup.
• Many others (see Comparison below), and
  
  • gPapers 
  • I Librarian (x-platform)
  • Referencer

Free-ish

• Mendeley

Commercial

• Reference Manager
• Endnote
• Procite

Different idea, but very useful

• citeulike

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).
