@fiduswriter JabRef's internal format is just #bibtex We already have one for Citavi with a test case and some others, I think Mendeley is not yet supported because you can export it as a bib file
All other import formats are implemented here: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/tree/main/jablib/src/main/java/org/jabref/logic/importer/fileformat

We also support integration with #LIbreOffice

FYI: #asciidoc with #asciidoctor #bibtex stumbles upon slashes in bibtex #citation keys
it prints the citation key in the bibliography before the entry.

This happens with all the #IACR #eprint #cryptology paper citations generated on their site

Removing the slash from the citekey is a workaround

In the spirit of this year’s Winter Olympics 🇮🇹 ❄️ 🏟️, we are proud to announce a winner as well: A new JabRef version…

We are excited to announce the new alpha 5 of JabRef.

As already written in an earlier post, it now features the new citations fetched from OpenCitation and OpenAlex.

Another new cool feature is now the download of book cover images.
Of course, we also fixed the usual bugs.

Bei #Literaturverwaltung sind wir häufig Team #Zotero Aber für sauberen #BibTeX-Export und reduziertes Interface sind wir immer auch Team #JabRef
Und bis 2028 mit Fokus aus #Windows und #wissensmanagement auch Team #Citavi

has anyone gotten #Antora with #asciidoctor #bibtex to work? I would really love to use Antora as a front end for some kind of paper with lots of citations.

All I get is an error about #opaque in #npm I cannot get fixed.

Ah, et encore une question...

Pour identifier les BDs, vous mett(ri)ez un tag "BD" (c’est ce que j’ai fait), ou vous utilise(rie)z un champ existant ou personnalisé dans "Extra" pour ça ?

Edit: #Zotero #BibTex #Bibliographie #Livres

If you are trying to cite the stochastic parrots paper and you get `LaTeX Error: Unicode character 🦜 (U+1F99C)` then adding:
\usepackage{twemojis} % So we can cite stochastic parrots
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{1F99C}{\twemoji{parrot}}
Fixes things. There may be other better solutions. #BibTeX #LaTeX #AI

Parse and display #BibTeX in #Swift in your apps, on the server, wherever! Nice.

Happy Holidays!

Here is a late present for you: We just released Version 6.0.alpha4.
This release contains a couple of UX improvements, a handful of new features, and the usual bug fixes.
A brand new feature is now the support for date groups based on any date field. Also supports year, timestamp fields, etc.

For more info, check out our blog post and the changelog!

We know that there are some #emacs fans among our followers. We would like to see a blog article about using JabRef's #LSP server with Emacs as a client. The LSP server covers the integrity check and consistency check of #JabRef.
Not only that, but we are happy for a quick write-up from a real human, not some AI slop. The blog post will, of course, feature your name.

@beandreams
The #UCL History department uses "Past and Present", which is a journal that forked Chicago a while back and kind of didn't keep up with upstream. So as a result, I always just told LaTeX to spit out Chicago and not worry about it too much.

So my real answer is #BibTeX, as that's how I store my citation databases.

We have an early present for you!
Leveraging JabRef's brand new Git integration, it's now possible to directly sync your bibliography with Overleaf by using GitHub as an intermediate.

We have written a short description in our blog post on how to get started.
Currently, only one-way sync is possible!

@ctietze @simon_brooke Of course we have to mention #JabRef We use #bibtex as primary format and are completely open source.

And we also have support for pushing citations to #emacs

JabRef meets GIt - for easier collaboration!

Thanks to our #GSOC contributor, Wanling, JabRef now supports experimental integration with #git and #GitHub to simplify collaboration.
The cool thing is that you don't need to know anything about Git or its details.
The heart of the new feature is the fantastic semantic conflict resolution, which works on an entry/field basis.
