Referencer
Referencer is a document organiser and bibliography manager
for GNOME.
This application helps users to organise documents
or references, and generate a BibTeX bibliography file.
Referencer may be used for editing your documents and
bibliography data (library). However, this application also includes
useful
time-saving features. The most important among these is the automatic
acquisition of bibliographic information (metadata) for certain types
of
document. When adding a PDF file to a Referencer library file, it will
automatically be searched for key identifiers such as a DOI code or
arXiv identifier. If either of these is found, Referencer will attempt
to retrieve the metadata for the document via the internet.
Referencer also uses its knowledge of papers to provide handy
functions such as opening the web page associated with the article, or
opening the document itself. Additionally, you can attach tags to
documents to catgorise them, and then browse documents more easily by
filtering them by tag. The software is a great tool for the scientist
and
researcher.
