What is JabRef?

Founded in 2003, JabRef has emerged as an essential resource for countless scholars and students engaged in academic research. Our core mission is to promote the advancement of knowledge and improve the quality of scientific inquiry. We advocate strongly for open access to information, as we believe that modern science flourishes in a transparent environment. This dedication motivates us to create JabRef as a free and open-source software, employing a user-friendly text-based file format that prevents vendor lock-in. Users can easily access detailed bibliographic information through identifiers like ISBN, DOI, PubMed-ID, and arXiv-ID. Moreover, bibliographic entries can be enriched by linking them with reputable online databases such as Google Scholar, Springer, or MathSciNet. JabRef also includes functionality to automatically rename and move related files based on user-defined criteria. In addition, it provides options for customizing and adding new metadata fields or types of references. Users can efficiently categorize their articles using keywords, tags, search terms, or personal classifications, all while enjoying native support for BibTeX and BibLaTeX, which are perfect for text-based typesetting systems like LaTeX and Markdown. Ultimately, JabRef's powerful features enable users to optimize their research processes, making it a valuable asset for anyone in the academic field.
