God you are marvelous, your exposition clearly hits home! Great intuitive approach, you find exactly the right descriptive determination (neither too much nor too little)!
I have all references with doi. Do you know if I can activate them using JabRef? By 'activation," I mean clicking on doi from my reference list opens a specific article.
Thanks. This seems like a lot of work to manage references. I work in the life sciences and have multiple 100+ journal article libraries, and so I'm wondering why someone would use this over other reference managers (besides free vs fee). For most programs I've used, you can drag or send a PDF and get pretty reliable auto-population of metadata and have the PDF attached automatically. I'm looking for more flexibility in a GUI with respect to organization, including custom metadata columns, but the extra work here doesn't seem worth it. Am I missing something?
If you have capital letters in the article title (aside from the first letter of the title), then they won't be capitalized in the bibliography even though you would want them to be (at least in all the bibliography styles I've ever used). To make sure every letter that you want to be capitalized ends up capitalized in the bibliography, you need to put the curly brackets around those letters. For instance, in the name of my video here: {I}ntroduction to {J}ab{R}ef. Note that you don't need to put curly brackets around the "I", but I do anyway.
@@JoshTheEngineer is there any way to get capital letters without typing {}? iam asking because iam working with sources from the 17th century and those titles have 40 words (and its kinda driving me mad)?
You can use either. Sometimes the formatting of one of them is different than the other though. I guess it depends on how the source you're downloading it from decides to format it.
Great video, Josh! One question: At min 7.55 you magically change the Author format in the Entry Preview to "Firstname familyn" AND "firstname familyname". Can you tell me which shortcut you used to do the trick?
Thank you! I actually just cut out the part of the video where I changed them so you wouldn't need to watch me do it. There's no shortcut for it (that I know of). I should have mentioned that, so thanks for asking!
I'm about to start a Master's degree in Aerodynamics, so your LaTex and JabRef videos are a Godsend!
'First Name Last Name' one of my favorite drivers too 😂. Great Video Josh, keep up the good work
This was great. I hadn't used JabRef for about a year and forgot most of it. This was a great refresher.
This was great. Thank you not only for the introduction of Jabref, but also for the tips you mentioned that are really good ones.
Thanks from Germany for the great intro to the app!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot for this video. The perfect introduction and covers almost everything one needs to know. Really helpful.
No problem!
The F1 reference was great!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

How did you add the citationkey header to the table?

Many thanks, helped a lot!
Thank you Josh, the video was very helpful.
I did not quite understand the "capital letters are not masked using curly brackets". Is it important to change it?
If you have capital letters in the article title (aside from the first letter of the title), then they won't be capitalized in the bibliography even though you would want them to be (at least in all the bibliography styles I've ever used).

Hello. I just have question. Why do you need the RIS file and the BibTex? Why can't you just use one or the other? Thanks
You can use either. Sometimes the formatting of one of them is different than the other though. I guess it depends on how the source you're downloading it from decides to format it.
Great video. Thanks a lot!
