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.
