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)

An open source application with a mobile version and a standard version (as a Firefox extension) Zotero
