Fetching entries

An important function of the BibSonomy plugin for JabRef is to fetch BibTeX entries from our social bookmarking site http://www.bibsonomy.org . This can either be done in user or world mode. In the user mode, you can fetch all entries and tags of your private collection; in the world mode, you can fetch public tags and entries from all users.

Fetching entries with the tag cloud

Our plugin provides you a tag cloud with the most used tags by you, if you are querying bibsonomy.org in user mode, or by all user when querying in world mode. Querying the tagcloud can be achieved by clicking on the Update button on the lower side of the BibSonomy sidebar.
