Abstract
This paper presents a description of integration of the Mr. DLib scientific recommender system into the JabRef reference manager. Scientific recommender systems help users identify relevant papers out of vast amounts of existing literature. They are particularly useful when used in combination with reference managers. Over 85% of JabRef users stated that they would appreciate the integration of a recommender system. However, the implementation of literature recommender systems requires experience and resources that small companies cannot afford. With the desires of users in mind, we integrated the Mr. DLib scientific recommender system into JabRef. Using Mr. DLib’s recommendations-as-a-service, JabRef users can find relevant literature and keep themselves informed about the state of the art in their respective fields.
