What is Bibus?

Bibus is a bibliographic and reference management software. As with other such tools, Bibus allows one to search, edit, and sort bibliographic records. In addition, Bibus contains features that makes it unique among open source and even commercial bibliographic databases:

  • Hierarchical organization of the references with user defined keys
  • Designed for multiuser environments
    • You can share the database between an "unlimited" number of users
    • Each user will have its own classification
    • You can define read-only and read-write users
  • Live queries; that is searches that update as the database changes
  • On-line PubMed queries
  • On-line eTBLAST queries
  • Insertion of references and formatting of bibliographies into two widely used Word Processors (OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Word)
  • Foreign language support through Unicode and gettext. As of version 1.4, Bibus is available in English, Chinese, Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Portuguese, Slovenian, Spanish.
  • Bibus works on most modern platforms:
    • Gnu/linux with OpenOffice.org
    • Windows98/2000/XP with OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Word
    • On other platforms (MacOS X, ...) Bibus works with Microsoft Word but styles cannot be created at this point (this should change soon for MacOS X)

What makes Bibus special?

  • Free (as in speech) and free (as in beer)
  • Easy to use, intuitive interface
  • Works with OpenOffice.org (Linux, Windows, MacOS X) and MS Word (Windows)
  • Interfaces seamlessly with PubMed Entrez and with eTBLAST.

# emerge bibus

Mac OSX

If you have a good knowledge of MacOSX and want to make a dmg file, please contact the main bibus developper at mailto:pmartino@users.sourceforge.net. Bibus is written with cross-platform tools and should work on macOSX but we need somebody to do the work since we don't have any mac.

[edit]

MS Windows 98/2000/XP

  • Most would probably want the latest standalone executable version (see above for link). This version includes all required software and is very easy to install (just follow the instructions of the install screens. Note that this might not work on Win98.
  • For the “python” version (requires python, wxPython, win32com, pysqlite), you need to download the package bibus-biblio. Please follow the instructions at http://bibus-biblio.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Installation
