[nfbcs] accessible reference management software

[Currin, Kevin]

Hi Newton,

Thanks for mentioning the ability to export BibTeX with zotero. It reminded me of two things for those who want to use LaTeX/BibTeX:
1. Google scholar offers the option to generate a BibTeX citation for articles.
2. I have a bash script that generates BibTeX entries given pubMed IDs (for those of us who use pubMed for biology/medical research). Happy to share this.

There is a bibtex4word plugin that I tried that didn't seem accessible. However, this could be a cool project for someone to work on on github.

Kevin

Hello,

Keep in mind when you read this that I use Mac + Safari + Voiceover.

I personally use zotero because there is a browser plug-in  so that when I find a paper I want to use, I can navigate over to that button on the browser toolbar and press it. Then, I export it as a bibtex when writing my own papers in LaTex.

Zotero is somewhat usable. by screenreader I can navigate through the previously selected paper titles and sort them into libraries by subject. Also, there are some hotkeys for example, command+shift+c to copy a already formatted citation. However, there is a long way to go for accessibility.

Let me know if you have any questions

Best,

Newton Nguyen

I briefly tried endnote, zotero, and mendely, and found endnote to be more accessible than either mendeley or zotero. Take this with a grain of salt however, because I already new LaTeX and quickly switched over to LaTeX/BibTeX when I encountered accessibility issues with endnote/zotero/mendeley. Others likely have additional suggestions.
