We are excited that we are participating in #GSOC2026 with 3 projects:

- "Improved handling of older documents with OCR and AI-powered tools."

- "Improved #LibreOffice -JabRef integration" with one particular aspect of compatibility with other reference managers.

- "Improving startup times for JabKit" by leveraging the power of #GraalVM

Any LaTeX experts around who can tell me how to fix the rendering of this BibTex citation?

The parentheses in the author's name seems so not get handled correctly, but I can't find how to include those properly. The parentheses are in the original author listing of the paper so I think they should be included.

#TexLaTex #BibTex

One task that staff & students outsource to #llmchatbots is transforming #BibTex from a publisher website or library catalogue into particular academic citation styles. To save resources, we can look into alternatives like Chris Proctor's pybtex-apa7-style #Python plugin for #APA7. I have adapted his plugin in a script with widgets for reuse in Colab:

https://github.com/MonikaBarget/DigitalHistory/blob/master/BibTex_conversion.ipynb

Maybe this is of help to others. MLA & other citation styles have no pybtex plugins yet, but this may still change. 🤞🏼

@parleur
#Zotero c'est très pratique. En fait ça te permet de recenser tes références bibliographiques (grâce au DOI, aujourd'hui c'est très facile de rentrer les références).
Grâce à un plugin sur Libre Office, tu vas pouvoir appeler une référence recensée dans Zotero, par exemple (Auteur, Date).
Ta liste des références biblio appelées dans le texte sera générée automatiquement, selon le style que tu souhaites.

Par contre si un jour tu rédiges plutôt sous #LateX c'est plutôt JabRef qui est compatible pour un usage avec #BibteX.

Je ne sais pas si je suis très claire 😅 mais n'hésite pas si tu veux en savoir plus.

In a large open source project, unfortunately, it can happen tha solving an issue may take a while..
We are pleased to announce that a longstanding 6-year-old annoying issue with using keyboard shortcuts in the BibTeX code text area got fixed
https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5937

Side effect: people in our team also learned about these nice macOS keyboard shortcuts for navigation and text selection.

@fiduswriter JabRef's internal format is just #bibtex We already have one for Citavi with a test case and some others, I think Mendeley is not yet supported because you can export it as a bib file
All other import formats are implemented here: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/tree/main/jablib/src/main/java/org/jabref/logic/importer/fileformat

We also support integration with #LIbreOffice

In the spirit of this year’s Winter Olympics 🇮🇹 ❄️ 🏟️, we are proud to announce a winner as well: A new JabRef version…

We are excited to announce the new alpha 5 of JabRef.

As already written in an earlier post, it now features the new citations fetched from OpenCitation and OpenAlex.

Another new cool feature is now the download of book cover images.
Of course, we also fixed the usual bugs.

has anyone gotten #Antora with #asciidoctor #bibtex to work? I would really love to use Antora as a front end for some kind of paper with lots of citations.

All I get is an error about #opaque in #npm I cannot get fixed.

If you are trying to cite the stochastic parrots paper and you get `LaTeX Error: Unicode character 🦜 (U+1F99C)` then adding:
\usepackage{twemojis} % So we can cite stochastic parrots
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{1F99C}{\twemoji{parrot}}
Fixes things. There may be other better solutions. #BibTeX #LaTeX #AI

ezefranca/BibTeXKit: BibTeXKit is Swift-native framework for parsing, displaying, and manipulating BibTeX https://github.com/ezefranca/BibTeXKit

Parse and display #BibTeX in #Swift in your apps, on the server, wherever! Nice.

Happy Holidays!

Here is a late present for you: We just released Version 6.0.alpha4.
This release contains a couple of UX improvements, a handful of new features, and the usual bug fixes.
A brand new feature is now the support for date groups based on any date field. Also supports year, timestamp fields, etc.

For more info, check out our blog post and the changelog!

We know that there are some #emacs fans among our followers. We would like to see a blog article about using JabRef's #LSP server with Emacs as a client. The LSP server covers the integrity check and consistency check of #JabRef.
Not only that, but we are happy for a quick write-up from a real human, not some AI slop. The blog post will, of course, feature your name.

@beandreams
The #UCL History department uses "Past and Present", which is a journal that forked Chicago a while back and kind of didn't keep up with upstream. So as a result, I always just told LaTeX to spit out Chicago and not worry about it too much.

So my real answer is #BibTeX, as that's how I store my citation databases.
