Automatic reference (bibliography) creator
Jiro's pick this week is Reference Creator by Valerio Biscione.
Even though I have been away from the world of academia for quite some time, I can remember and appreciate the effort that people put into writing papers. And in that process, one of the more mundane tasks is putting together the references. Not only do I need to figure out the exact article and journal names, I need to put the information in the correct format. It may not be super difficult, but it's definitely time-consuming.
Valerio's Reference Creator makes this process extremely easy. It accesses Mendeley, an online research paper database, to gather the bibliographical data based on some search criteria, such as author name and year. You can use his tool either through the command line interface or the UI. I gave it a try using a paragraph from one of my papers.
It even gave me a warning when it found multiple matches with the same author(s) and year.
Thanks Valerio for this useful tool! I'm sure a lot of researchers out there will appreciate this.
