User Friendly Interface for Maintaining BibTeX Databases

Abstract

We describe a new bibliographic database tool, BIBTECKER, that helps users manage their BIBTEX databases. The main features of BIBTECKER are a GUI interface, a built-in entry syntax checker, user extendable type fields, comment maintenance, verbose mode and command line parameters. We also compare BIBTECKER with existing BIBTEX tools and mention plausible improvements.
