Integration with JabRef


JabRef is open source literature management software and uses the BibTeX format as the standard format.

BibSonomy plugin
Caution: Since JabRef version 2.12, plugins are no longer supported in JabRef!
To exchange literature data between BibSonomy and JabRef easier and faster, you can use the BibSonomy plugin for JabRef. Read more information on installation and usage.

Extract Jabref-layouts from Jar-files
In JabRef, you can export your literature data in user-defined formats. These formats are called layouts und are defined in layout files. On our developer page, you can download the currently available layouts as a JAR file. You can open this file using an unzip tool like WinZip. You will find the layouts under the path \\org\\bibsonomy\\layout\\jabref.

To use a layout, you have to extract its '.begin' and '.end' files in combination with the respective layout-file. For example, if you want to use the Harvard HTML JabRef layout, you have to extract the files 'harvard.layout', 'harvard.begin.layout' and 'harvard.end.layout'.
