BibDesk

Posted : admin | On 30-04-2021



  1. Then, you send your bibliography entries directly from BibDesk: You place the curser in the location in your LyX document where you want the reference to appear, and then you go to BibDesk, right-click on the bib item you want, and choose 'send to lyx'. If you then hit CTRL-R (or CTRL-D) from LyX, then you should see the references appearing.
  2. Bibdesk is an Open Source Mac app with bibliography management and search features, as well as some useful import and export capabilities. See more at: by raviii Aug 29.
  3. Your BibTeX resource. Here you will find everything you need to know about BibTeX. The word,BibTeX' stands for a tool and a file format which are used to describe and process lists of references, mostly in conjunction with LaTeX documents. Here you can learn about the BibTeX File Format, How to use BibTeX and BibTeX Tools which can help you to ease your BibTeX usage.
BibDesk manages my bibliography, just like iTunes manages my music. I have a single iTunes library, and I also have only a single master bibliography.However, when writing a paper, I want to create a new bib file with only the publications cited in the paper. BibTeX nicely creates a bibliographic reference file (*.bbl), but I want a bibliography file (*.bib) in order to be able to open the paper related publications with BibDesk. So, what I needed was a tool to convert the bbl file into a bib file. Fortunately, I found everything for that on my machine: AppleScript, grep, sed and, of course, BibDesk. I wrote a small script which simply creates a new bib file using a source bib file and a selected bbl file. Simply install the script listed below to your script folder (~/Library/Scripts) and name it 'Create BIB from BBL.scpt' . Open your master bib file with BibDesk, then select a bbl file and activate the script(from the script menu in the menu bar). It will automatically create a new bib file in the folder of the bbl file, with the same name as the original bbl file (but with the extension bib).If you don't have BibDesk, you might want to have a look at Michael Zhang's Perl Script. Instead of parsing the bbl file, Zhang's script parses the latex source. I prefer parsing the bbl file, as sometimes I use a whole bunch of latex sources, and BibTeX is quite good in gathering all citations into a single bbl file. You may also want to read the comments to Zhang's post for other solutions. If you don't have a master bib file, you may look at http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=makebib. There's a perl scrip provided reconstructing a bib file from a bbl file only.

Apr 07, 2021 Zotero plugin for integration with the BibDesk bibliographic manager for Mac OS X. Zotxt, by Erik Hetzner. Cite items from your Zotero library while writing in plain text.

Update 2010-06-15: I updated the script as some BBL files were not recognized. If the script doesn't work, you may have a look at your BBL file. At the moment, the script searches for bibitems like 'bibitem{key}' or 'bibitem[abbr]{key}'.
