So which are well suited for the humanities and social sciences? Posted by ROU_Xenophobe at 9:15 PM on March 4, 2007
At most, a TeX-aware editor that will dump a blank article or book entry for you. Over the long run? Editing your bibliography.bib with a text editor and dumping the cites in manually.Įditing your bibliography.bib with a text editor and dumping the cites in manually. (4) Input those, being very strict about the mnemonics - always smithjoneswossname2002, or whatever. (3) See what bibTeX bitched that it couldn't find. (1) Write paper, ignoring that I might not have all the cites in my bibliography.bib. Done, and I didn't have to learn new stuff to do it. To input a new article, I grab the last article I see, copy it, and input the new stuff over the old stuff. Why? Because I don't have to learn anything else. What is the most likely to not go bankrupt in 10 years after I've put in an irreproducible amount of work into building my database? What is the most useful / flexible / import-exportable?Įditing your bibliography.bib with a text editor and dumping the cites in manually. Any time you save by importing someone else's cites from time to time will be more than swallowed up by the extra time it takes you to deal with a system you don't like. Is it helpful to use the standard, in terms of sharing resources? Or does it not matter so much?

#Bibdesk with word how to
On top of this, my efforts to get into Latex in general were also hampered by my inability to understand, once again, how to install the templates or classes or whatever I wanted.and the fact that all the journals I look at publishing in now pretty much require submissions in Word format anyway. So, my efforts at Bibtex completely failed due to the high learning curve and lack of sensible information on how to use it in a practical way. And I didn't even get around to figuring out how Bibtex interfaces with Word (so I can hit some defined key and have it insert the selected reference, like Endnote does). I also had trouble finding out how to find templates (or whatever you call them) to format the references as required. However, I'm sure there's lots I haven't tried (I've never heard of the "JabRef" you mention, for instance). I couldn't find a frontend that was in any way decent - they all sucked compared to Endnote. I've tried getting into Bibtex, but I just couldn't get it to work. I do wish it worked with something other than Word (like OpenOffice), because at the moment it's the only thing tying me to Word.
