What is Referencer?

Referencer is a GNOME application designed to assist users in organizing documents or references while also facilitating the creation of a BibTeX bibliography file. Primarily aimed at scientists and researchers, the term "document" typically pertains to research papers, though Referencer accommodates any document type that BibTeX recognizes. A notable feature of Referencer is its capability to autonomously collect bibliographic information, or metadata, for a range of document types. When a user uploads a PDF to their Referencer library, the application identifies key identifiers like a DOI or an arXiv identifier, and if successful, it attempts to retrieve the associated metadata from online sources. Unfortunately, the ability to obtain metadata for more recent arXiv entries has been hindered due to changes in format. Moreover, users can easily import references from BibTeX, Reference Manager, and EndNote, enhancing the application's versatility. In addition, Referencer efficiently retrieves metadata from arXiv, PubMed, and CrossRef for PDFs that include an arXiv ID or DOI code, streamlining the reference management process for users. This feature not only enhances the efficiency of managing references but also promotes a more cohesive integration of various academic resources into the research workflow, ultimately benefiting the scholarly community.
