JabRef es maravilloso, si está buscando una herramienta para escribir, así como organizar toda su biblioteca de artículos de investigación académica. Admite la importación directa de atributos de entrada basados en doi, ISBN y otros identificadores. La personalización del entorno. es excelente y ofrece mucho a cualquier académico, incluidos los estudiantes universitarios. Por otro lado, el entorno basado en Java ha ido creciendo con el tiempo, convirtiéndose en un recurso bastante exigente, lo que lo hace más lento de lo que se desearía. Ocasionalmente, se produce una falla, pero nunca se soluciona nada en el enfoque estándar de "apagarlo y encenderlo de nuevo".
jabref specifically uses bibtex while zotero does not.
