[edit] About Bibwiki

Bibwiki is an extension to create and manage scientific bibliographies. The bibliographies are stored in plain text files in the common BibTeX format. Use Bibwiki to:

  • import from Aleph OPAC, Amazon, Library of Congress, Deutsche Nationalbibliothek, British Library, Major German and Austrian Libraries, Proquest/CSA databases, ArXiv and many more...
  • manage digital documents (PDF files, web pages, etc.)
  • export lists of references via BibTeX (screenshot)
  • create lists of references in Mediawiki articles (screenshot).
