Referencer Reviews

Referencer Description

Referencer is a GNOME program that organizes documents and references. It also generates a BibTeX bibliography. It was designed for scientists and researchers. "Document" can be taken to refer to "paper", but Referencer can handle any type of document that BibTeX can. Referencer has the ability to automatically acquire bibliographic information (metadata), for certain types of documents. When you add a PDF file to a referencer library file, it will automatically search for key identifiers like a DOI code and an arXiv ID. Referencer will attempt to retrieve metadata for the document via internet if either of these are found. The format change makes metadata fetching impossible for older arXiv additions. Import from BibTeX and EndNote. Referencer will automatically retrieve arXiv and PubMed metadata for PDF documents that have arXiv IDs or DOI codes.
