Docear4Word 1.1: Support of “Suppress Author”, “Author only” and some other nice options

Docear4Word 1.1 is available for download and it offers two new features that will improve your work with references in Microsoft Word a lot. Actually, we added two new elements to the “Add References” dialog.

Docear4Word 1.02: Fixing some sorting problems

Docear4Word 1.02 is available for download. It fixes one bug that occurred when adding several references at once.

Just for those […]

Docear4Word 1.0: Managing citations, bibliographies and references in Microsoft-Word based on BibTeX

For students and researchers reference management probably is the most tiring task in their daily work-routine. They have to re-type and format bibliographic information again and again, for each paper, assignment or thesis. This is particularly annoying if you need to change citation styles. As a student this might happen because your supervisor changes his […]

Docear4Word 1.0 RC1 available for registered users

Docear4Word is ready to release but before we make it available for public download, we would like to publish another test version for our users.

It’s half a year ago that we announced the development of a Microsoft Word Add-on to insert BibTeX based references in the same way as Zotero, Mendeley, Endnote and other references managers do. A major requirement for the add-on was to use the citation style language (CSL) which allows using over 2,000 citation styles. Well, […]

Docear4Word – Help us developing it

Up to now we recommended using BibTeX4Word to cite your papers in Microsoft Word. However, the installation of BibTeX4Word is complex and usage is not that user friendly (the Word add-ons from Zotero and Mendeley are much more comfortable).

Originally, we planned to develop our own Docear4Word but we just don’t have the time because […]
