cb2bib Description

The cb2Bib is an open source, and multiplatform application for rapidly extracting unformatted, or unstandardized bibliographic references from email alerts, journal Web pages, and PDF files. The cb2Bib facilitates the capture of single references from unformatted and non standard sources. Output references are written in BibTeX. Articles can be linked and renamed by dragging them onto the cb2Bib window. Additionally, it permits editing and browsing BibTeX files, citing references, searching references and the full contents of the referenced documents, inserting bibliographic metadata to documents, and writing short notes that interrelate several references. The cb2Bib reads the clipboard text contents and process it against a set of predefined patterns. If this automatic detection is successful, cb2Bib formats the clipboard data according to the structured BibTeX reference syntax. Otherwise, if no predefined format pattern is found or if detection proves to be difficult, manual data extraction is greatly simplified by cb2Bib. In most cases, such manual data extraction will provide with a new, personalized pattern to be included within the predefined pattern set for future automatic extractions. Once the bibliographic reference is correctly extracted, it is added to a specified BibTeX database file. Optionally, document files are renamed to a DocumentID filename and moved to a desired directory as a personal article library, and their metadata is updated with the bibliographic reference. The cb2Bib facilitates writing short notes related to bibliographic collections. Notes are written using a minimalist markup on a plain text editor, and can latter be converted to HTML. Related references and links become easily accessible on any browser or by the embedded cb2Bib viewer.
