The library can also be searched for duplicates and duplicates can be removed or merged. If full-text papers are downloaded and file names start with the citation key, JabRef has the option to automatically link the citations to the downloaded paper. It is possible to indicate if an article has been read or skimmed and to rank the paper with one to five stars. A separate quality indication can also be added into the library so that users can indicate the references that have been checked for accuracy. This feature is like EndNote’s Smart Groups feature. For instance, it is possible to create a group based on a keyword search so that any new articles matching the search are automatically added to the group. There are a number of advanced options as well. Screenshot of the JabRef main user interface According to the user documentation, this import feature is optimized for IEEE and LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) but it is also possible to import and extract metadata from other sources if a DOI is located on the first page of the document. JabRef also offers a PDF import option that extracts metadata. It is possible to attach full-text PDFs that are stored on a user’s computer. Detailed information about an entry is displayed at the bottom of the screen. There is a main library pane where brief information on the references is listed. There is a left-hand navigation pane where you can create groups and subgroups and search external resources. The interface design is fairly similar to other reference managers as well. Users can also import RIS or BibTeX files from databases and journal websites. It is also possible to search for references and add information from several journal databases and open access resources such as IEEE Xplore, ACM Portal, NASA/ADS or Springer. Similar features include the ability to add references and attach full-text documents, or to add references by identifier like DOI, ISBN or arXiv number. JabRef offers several features similar to other reference managers like Mendeley or Zotero but it is geared to LaTeX users. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms and can be downloaded from JabRef. The original version of JabRef was released in 2003 (“JabRef,” n.d.).
