NAME

       jabref - graphical frontend to manage BibTeX databases

SYNOPSIS

       jabref [options] [bibtex-file]

DESCRIPTION

       JabRef  is  a  graphical Java application for editing bibtex (.bib) databases. JabRef lets
       you organize your entries into overlapping logical groups, and with a single  click  limit
       your  view  to  a  single  group  or  an  intersection or union of several groups. You can
       customize the entry information shown in the main window, and sort by any of the  standard
       Bibtex  fields. JabRef can autogenerate bibtex keys for your entries. JabRef also lets you
       easily link to PDF or web sources for your reference entries.
       JabRef can import from and export  to  several  formats,  and  you  can  customize  export
       filters. JabRef can be run as a command line application to convert from any import format
       to any export format.
