  • A Comparison of Researcher's Reference Management Software
    Journal of Economics and Behavioral Studies Vol. 6, No. 7, pp. 561-568, July 2014 (ISSN: 2220-6140) A Comparison of Researcher’s Reference Management Software: Refworks, Mendeley, and EndNote Sujit Kumar Basak Durban University of Technology, South Africa [email protected] Abstract: This paper aimed to present a comparison of researcher’s reference management software such as RefWorks, Mendeley, and EndNote. This aim was achieved by comparing three software. The main results of this paper were concluded by comparing three software based on the experiment. The novelty of this paper is the comparison of researcher’s reference management software and it has showed that Mendeley reference management software can import more data from the Google Scholar for researchers. This finding could help to know researchers to use the reference management software. Keywords: Reference management software, comparison and researchers 1. Introduction Reference management software maintains a database to references and creates bibliographies and the reference lists for the written works. It makes easy to read and to record the elements for the reference comprises such as the author’s name, year of publication, and the title of an article, etc. (Reiss & Reiss, 2002). Reference Management Software is usually used by researchers, technologists, scientists, and authors, etc. to keep their records and utilize the bibliographic citations; hence it is one of the most complicated aspects among researchers. Formatting references as a matter of fact depends on a variety of citation styles which have been made the citation manager very essential for researchers at all levels (Gilmour & Cobus-Kuo, 2011). Reference management software is popularly known as bibliographic software, citation management software or personal bibliographic file managers (Nashelsky & Earley, 1991).

ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0766-2763 Email: [email protected] ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ABSTRACT Graduate students at the University of Manitoba were surveyed to find out if they used reference management software (RMS), features used, challenges and barriers to using RMS. Interest in different types of PDF management features and training options were also investigated. Both users and non-users of reference management software were invited to participate. Non-users managed their citations and references with a variety of other tools. The principal reasons for non-use were that students were not aware of options that were available, and the amount of time needed to learn the program. RMS users also mentioned the steep learning curve, problems with extracting metadata from PDFs, technical issues, and problems with inaccurate citation styles. Most of the students saved PDF documents to their computer. Students were most interested in full-text searching of PDFs, automatic renaming of PDFs, and automatically extracting citation metadata from a PDF.

    Importing/Exporting Citations from Databases into ProQuest RefWorks These instructions are for ProQuest RefWorks version of RefWorks. The process may be slightly different for the classic or legacy version of RefWorks. There are three ways to insert database citations into RefWorks: 1. Direct Export: The database provides a link for exporting citations into RefWorks. 2. Import as Text File: The database allows you to save citations as a text file. You then insert the file into the RefWorks Import page. 3. Create New Reference: Manually enter a citation into your RefWorks database. Note: Always check citations for completeness and accuracy after they are downloaded into RefWorks, and in your bibliography. You may need to unblock pop-ups on your browser in order to successfully export citations to RefWorks.

We present BibBase, a system for publishing and managing bibliographic data available in BiBTeX files. BibBase uses a powerful yet light-weight approach to transform BiBTeX files into rich Linked Data as well as custom HTML code and RSS feed that can readily be integrated within a user’s website while the data can instantly be queried online on the system’s SPARQL endpoint. In this paper, we present an overview of several features of our system. We outline several challenges involved in on-the-fly transformation of highly heterogeneous BiBTeX files into high-quality Linked Data, and present our solution to these challenges. Keywords: Bibliographic Data Management, Linked Data, Data Integration 1. Introduction as DBLP Berlin [19] and RKBExplorer [24]).
