Manage your own JabRef files


Warning: JabRef ist out-of-date and therefore only supported for legacy reasons. It is recommended to use files in CSL (Citation Style Language) instead. You can find help on the internal page for CSL layouts.

If you would like to create your own layouts with JabRef, you can find further information on the official JabRef webpage. You can then upload those files on BibSonomy to customize the layout of any publication list and to export it in your desired style. For this, you need at least one file with the extension .layout, which should describe your custom layout.
