Integration with other Websites and Services


BibSonomy integrates well with other websites, content management systems, and reference managers. Furthermore, you can connect BibSonomy to your own software using one of our API (application programming interface) clients. The following list describes ways to integrate BibSonomy with various systems and technologies - ranging from code snippets to complete and powerful, easy-to-install plugins or API clients.


Browser

Bookmarking web pages and publications is very easy with our BibSonomy browser plugins, adding three useful buttons to your browser's navigation bar. At the moment there are plugins available for Chrome/Chromium, for Firefox and for Safari. If you do not wish to install a plugin or if you use another browser, you might like the JavaScript Bookmarklets with similar functionality.
