4.5 BibTeX in Reference Tools

RIS and BibTeX formats serve as critical interchange standards. Understanding these allows
researchers to appreciate the architecture of citation data. For instance, BibTeX's role in
LaTeX typesetting systems exemplifies the importance of flexible, code-based citation
workflows in disciplines like physics and computer science.

JabRef: Native support; excellent BibTeX editing and previewing tools.
Zotero: Can export/import BibTeX with field mapping.

Mendeley: Allows BibTeX file generation for LaTeX users.
