Using JabRef to keep references truly under control.

I found that JabRef is more than a reference management tool, as I have seen its ability to use DOIs to automatically link PDF files greatly enhance the process of importing references — many times when I imported a reference, the correct file was linked. The way it has enhanced our literature review process by providing a structured and more intentional approach to reviewing literature has been one of my favorite features of JabRef. I have also liked the rule based auto renaming of PDF files so we do not have to have long conversations with each other regarding how we want to name our PDFs in shared folders.

I have 5 years of experience in this tool.

It's so easy to use. The dashboard is friendly. Drag and drop tools are easy to use.

Great for generating a bibliography

Jabref is very easy to use and works well with LateX. It's a great way to store articles for references without having to worry about formatting them properly.
