“Help to compile bibliographies”

by Nick Mead about BibDesk

BibDesk is a bibliographic reference manager that helps makes the arduous task of compiling bibliographies a bit easier.

BibDesk is designed to help organize and use bibliographic databases in BibTeX .bib format which is a format specific to bibliographies. BibDesk lets you drag & drop or cut & paste .bib files into the bibliographic database and automatically open files downloaded from a bibliography database known as PubMed. BibDesk also keeps track of electronic copies of literature on your computer and allows for searching your database.

For those that have only ever used Word to compile their bibliographies, BibDesk will come as a breath of fresh air. However, its unlikely that you will be able to use BibDesk alone to fulfill all of your bibliography needs. Fortunately, BibDesk integrates well with TeX for creating citations and bibliographies although there is no official integration with Latex or Textmate which you'll also probably need.

BibDesk is an excellent tool for anyone that needs to create bibliographies for their academic work.

Pros
  • Helps compiling bibliographies easier
  • Integration with .bib, PubMed and TeX
Cons
  • May still require other programs to complete your bibliographies
  • Takes some learning at first especially with other apps
