#bibtex #biblatex #java #javafx #academia #openSource #TexLaTeX #bibliography
Another view on #JabRef. Most probably the #Java #DesktopApplication with the most #dependencies.
We are very happy for the strong community of maintainers.
If you like our #OpenSource work, please give us a star ⭐ at https://github.com/jabref/jabref/.
And surely a huge thank you to the whole community of Open Source maintainers driving the whole #Java and #JavaFX eco system.
We are excited that we are participating in #GSOC2026 with 3 projects:
- "Improved handling of older documents with OCR and AI-powered tools."
- "Improved #LibreOffice -JabRef integration" with one particular aspect of compatibility with other reference managers.
- "Improving startup times for JabKit" by leveraging the power of #GraalVM

Do you use #LIbreOffice together with #JabRef and want to have an easy way to convert citations and references to plaintext and vice versa?
We have now published our first LibreOffice extension, originally developed by @teertrinker and extended by the JabRef maintainers.
Check it out under:

In the latest development version, JabRef now supports multiple citation fetchers/providers, including SemanticScholar, @crossref@mastodon.online @opencitations@scicomm.xyz and @OpenAlex@mastodon.social
And at the bottom we provide some additional metrics from scite.ai
Grab the version here: https://builds.jabref.org/main/
PS: This version now uses also JavaFX 25.02 and JDK 25.02.

The Invisible Infrastructure of Academic Publishing
A JabRef contributor wrote this nice article for his university course:

In a large open source project, unfortunately, it can happen tha solving an issue may take a while..
We are pleased to announce that a longstanding 6-year-old annoying issue with using keyboard shortcuts in the BibTeX code text area got fixed
https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5937
Side effect: people in our team also learned about these nice macOS keyboard shortcuts for navigation and text selection.
