Frequently Asked Questions

BibTeX is the standard bibliography format for LaTeX documents. Each entry has a type (@article, @book), citation key, and fields like author, title, year, journal.

All standard BibTeX types: article, book, booklet, conference, inbook, incollection, inproceedings, manual, mastersthesis, misc, phdthesis, proceedings, techreport, unpublished.

Author fields are split by 'and' and parsed into first/last name components. Special characters like {\"o} are preserved.

LaTeX commands like \& \% and accented characters are preserved in the JSON. Unicode equivalents can be generated optionally.

BibTeX uses braces for case preservation (e.g., {DNA}). These are preserved in the output to maintain formatting intent.

Paste or upload content from multiple files. Each entry is parsed independently and added to the output array.

Yes. All parsing happens locally in your browser. Your research references never leave your device.

Crossref fields are preserved but not resolved. The referenced entry should also be present in the input for complete data.

Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, and JabRef all support BibTeX export. Look for 'Export > BibTeX' in your reference manager.

Each entry becomes an object with 'type', 'key', and field properties. Authors become arrays. The output is an array of entry objects.
