SYNOPSIS

9       jabref [options] [bibtex-file]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       JabRef  is a graphical Java application for editing bibtex (.bib) data‐
13       bases. JabRef lets you organize your entries into  overlapping  logical
14       groups, and with a single click limit your view to a single group or an
15       intersection or union of several groups. You can  customize  the  entry
16       information  shown  in the main window, and sort by any of the standard
17       Bibtex fields. JabRef can autogenerate bibtex keys  for  your  entries.
18       JabRef  also lets you easily link to PDF or web sources for your refer‐
19       ence entries.
20       JabRef can import from and export to several formats, and you can  cus‐
21       tomize  export filters. JabRef can be run as a command line application
22       to convert from any import format to any export format.
