Bebop (software) Bebop (BibTeX Publisher) is a web-based BibTeX front-end that creates a web interface to a list of publications stored in a BibTeX file and allows browsing by author, year, document type, topic and keywords using PHP, Javascript and XML technologies.
It can be mainly used by individuals and institutes for self-archiving and creating institutional repositories. It is suited for single source publishing of bibliography information as it uses one single BibTeX file as its database. Therefore no database server (e.g. MySQL) is needed. The BibTeX entries for publications can be annotated with more information by using research area, keywords, abstract, filelink, presentation and poster keys. research area key allows categorization whereas keywords allows tagging of bibliographic entries. Zotero. Zotero /zoʊˈtɛroʊ/ is free and open-source reference management software to manage bibliographic data and related research materials (such as PDF files).
Notable features include web browser integration, online syncing, generation of in-text citations, footnotes and bibliographies, as well as integration with the word processors Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org Writer and NeoOffice. WizFolio. WizFolio is a web based reference management software for researchers to manage, share their research and academic papers and generate citations in scholarly writings.
It uses plug-ins (HTML parsing technology) to collect bibliographic information, videos and patents[1][2] from webpages. History[edit] Developed by WizPatent Pte Ltd, its alpha version was launched on 12 May 2008, and the beta on 22 June 2008. It has since been released officially and is opened to the general public.[3] During the 8th International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCOB), Lim Chuan Poh, Chairman of Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) announced that the Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet) and Association for Medical and Bio Informatics Singapore (AMBIS) signed an agreement with WizFolio to provide respective members access to the system as well as explore new ways to improve the process of scientific peer review activities.[4] RefWorks. Functionality and features[edit] Users' reference databases are stored online, allowing them to be accessed and updated from any computer with an internet connection.
Institutional licenses allow universities to subscribe to RefWorks on behalf of all their students, faculty and staff. Individual licenses are also available. Papers (software) Papers is reference management software for Mac OS X and Windows,[3] used to manage bibliographies and references when writing essays and articles. It is primarily used to organize references and maintain a library of PDF documents and also provides a uniform interface for document repository searches, metadata editing, full screen reading and a variety of ways to import and export documents.
Papers was developed by Alexander Griekspoor and Tom Groothuis while studying towards their Ph.D.s at the Netherlands Cancer Institute.[1] Faced with working with hundreds of digital publications in PDF format, the pair worked on Papers to provide an iTunes-like approach to document management.[1] Papers was originally released as a public preview in February 2007, followed by the full 1.0 version a few months later.
A new version of the software was released and put for sale in the third quarter of 2013, along with a new iPhone/iPad app. Qiqqa. Qiqqa (pronounced "Quicker") is a freeware and freemium reference management software[1][2] that allows researchers to work with thousands of PDFs.[3] It combines PDF reference management tools, a citation manager and a mind map brainstorming tool. It integrates with Microsoft Word XP, 2003, 2007 and 2010 and BibTeX/LaTeX to automatically produce citations and bibliographies in thousands of styles. Researchers and research groups can store, synchronize and collaborate on their PDF documents, annotations, tags and comments using the internet cloud-based Qiqqa Web Libraries.
History[edit] The development of Qiqqa, based in Cambridge, UK, began in December 2009 and was first released as a public alpha in April 2010. The first version offered PDF management and brainstorming capabilities. Home - academic and research PDF management - Qiqqa. Comparison of reference management software.
