JabRef has a target audience of academics and many university libraries have written guides on its usage.[3][4][5] It uses BibTeX and BibLaTeX as its native formats and is therefore typically used for LaTeX.[6] The name JabRef stands for Java, Alver, Batada, Reference. The original version was released on November 29, 2003.[7]
