Project overview

JabRef is a cross-platform reference manager for BibTeX and BibLaTeX libraries. It can import records from scientific catalogs or identifiers, extract metadata from PDFs, organize collections and attachments, merge duplicates, and insert citations into external writing tools. Browser extensions help capture new references, while teams can synchronize a library through SQL; a separate JabKit command-line interface is also available.
