JabRef is an open-source, cross-platform citation and reference management software.[3][4] It is used to collect, organize and search bibliographic information.
JabRef has a target audience of academics and many university libraries have written guides on its usage.[5][6][7] It uses BibTeX and BibLaTeX as its native formats and is therefore typically used for LaTeX.[8] The name JabRef stands for Java, Alver, Batada, Reference. The original version was released on November 29, 2003.[9]
