Tools that allow creating, managing, organising and displaying journal articles or book references easily retrieved from a database, journal, website, etc. apart from generating bibliographic lists attending to different standards | Bibliographic management applications (BMA) |
Working with BMA applications, importing new data can be done in three different ways: | - In a direct way, by transferring the citation reference to your BMA from the source with just a click. - In an indirect way, saving the citation information in a file before being imported using formats such as txt, xml, RIS format etc. - Automatically from the BMA by accessing directly library catalogues, RSS, etc.) |
Classification of BMA applications | (1)Classics, (2)Web-based, and (3)Social-Networking based (nowadays, this type could be merged with the previous type) |
Some authors apply this term to some of the pioneers companies in this field. These are: EndNote 7 (perhaps the most spread one), ProCite, and Reference Manager | (1) BMA Classics |
The first BMA created by Thomson Reuters (almost completely replaced by EndNote) | ProCite |
BMA developed by Thomson Reuters which allows you to access specialised scientific communities created to discuss different topics, share references, annotate pdfs, and unlimited online storage. It automatically searches for updated reference info. | EndNote |
Created by Thomson Reuters, a famous electronic journals provider, it is a very complete tool although its use requires having previous knowledge on bibliographic management, due to its highly professional interface | Reference Manager |
These BMS applications present their results by means of using hyperlinks. Examples: Refworks, Zotero, and Mendeley. The main idea of tools like Mendeley and Zotero is to share with other users. | (2) Web-based BMA applications |
This BMA application needs a license previously paid by the Institution, and permits the direct exportation from many databases with several references at the same time | Refworks |
An open source application with a mobile version and a standard version (as a Firefox extension) | Zotero |
Thanks to its web importer, it is easy to import references from several academic sites. You can synchronise your recorded data with the local one in a personalized manner. | Mendeley |
One of the possible disadvantages of this MBA application is that it is full of advertising. | (3) Social-Networking based: Cite U Like |
