I know that version 2 is on its way, so maybe there will enough improvements to make that easier?Gail Carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173555781667297996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685560256628587439.post-14270444772488982082010-08-24T12:00:29.175-04:002010-08-24T12:00:29.175-04:00I don't know ...

I once exported a BiBTeX database from Mendeley and it was a mess (not Mendeley's fault, though - mostly the fact that I allowed it to automatically find info about sources and then trusted that too often). So what I end up doing is using Mendeley to organize and read papers, but use JabRef to build each database (I tend to have one for each paper).Gail Carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173555781667297996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685560256628587439.post-9048834736827626292010-08-24T11:53:01.590-04:002010-08-24T11:53:01.590-04:00Out of curiosity, why JabRef and not Mendeley?

The latter does bibtex exports just as well, and is far more featured.Christian Muisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13252588709861854104noreply@blogger.com
