Hence, I'll go ahead and give JabRef a try, and see how it goes.
The main point you've mentioned (which I agree with) is that Mendeley is a bit more bloated, and does lots of things in the background etc. In contrast, I'm pretty sure Mendeley uses one of the major toolkits and will look more "native" without a lot of tweaking. I tend to avoid java apps, as I haven't mastered getting the "look and feel" right. Note: as one "criticism" of jabref, its UI is java. But if you'd want the options offered by Mendeley, it is a stable, seemingly well written, app. In conclusion, jabref was the right fit for me. I get rid of Mendeley when I realized I was spending too much time turning features OFF or telling it to stop doing something. Add curated demographics, weather patterns, traffic data, and more to your enterprise data. In particular, I use the > and veryshorttitle fields in JabRef. Reveal opportunities and trends in your data through interactive maps and reports within familiar Microsoft 365 apps. I use both BibDesk and JabRef (I have a PC at work) I've been > auto-generating cite keys using JabRef for a while, and would love it > if BibDesk could generate compatible ones. Personally I hate software that does this. Visualize and share your data in Excel, Teams, SharePoint, and Power BI to gain fresh perspectives and solve business problems faster. More user-friendly way to directly manage your BibTeX files. If you like software that does this, it does it pretty well. Less user-friendly, but more direct control over your BibTeX.
It automates, runs things in the background, and does much of your thinking for you.
Jabref vs bibdesk pdf#
Mendeley (IMHO) felt more like a pdf library first, with the option to maintain references.ģ) I never got too familiar with Mendeley, so take this with a large grain of salt, but Mendeley seems popular in the Mac world and appropriately so: it does many things "for you". Jabref will happily link to pdf's that are available, but it is designed as a reference manager first, with the option to link to pdfs.
Jabref vs bibdesk full#
Jabref is much more slim and comes a little closer to the philosophy of "do one thing and do it well." But the difference between being loaded with features and being full of bloat is only a matter of whether or not you have a use for those features.Ģ) Jabref allows you to include "notes" in the reference database, but beyond that I don't think it has any annotation features (AFAIK). I think Mendeley is very well done, but it is a large project that offers all sorts of bells and whistles - lots of options. I dabbled with Mendeley a while back, but now use jabref exclusively.ġ) I don't have numbers to back it up now, but I believe your suspicion for #1 is correct.
