Re: Fwd: JabRef Survey

[Alan BRASLAU <alan.braslau@cea.fr>]

Hi,

I have written about JabRef in the soon to be distributed ConTeXt
bibliography subsystem documentation.

It is a fair program, but can ruin your bibtex data files if you are
not careful. Answering Mojca's comment, jabref is highly configurable,
so one could eventually make a decent ConTeXt configuration.

The main problem, from my point of view, is that jabref, as configured
by default, does not respect the "standard" (original) bibtex
definitions, and seems rather adapted for some flavors of biblatex that
has strayed from such standard uses. Nevertheless, jabref is a good
starting point or tool that can be used to convert, say, EndNote
exported reference lists to bibtex format.

Of course, java is not supported on all tablets and smartphones, as far
as I understand, so it is slowly being replaced by other languages. I
saw this recently for some teaching tools that are being re-written in
HTML5 (a stumbling block for these has been jmol that is sometimes used
for chemistry and biochemistry applications).
