The cb2Bib is a tool for rapidly extracting unformatted biblographic references from email alerts, journal Web pages, and PDF files.

The cb2Bib is intended to be used by scientists and students. It facilitates catching single references at the time of being announced. The references are formatted as BibTeX standard. A PDF file with the article text, if available, can be easily renamed to more meaningful than the well known 'science' or 'fulltext.pdf' filenames... Applications such as Kile, sixpack, JabRef,
Pybliographer, Tellico, or OpenOffice can later retrieve, import, use, or display these BibTeX references. In summary, cb2Bib is designed to help
organizing and storing the huge amount of bibliographic information that everyday reaches our mailboxes.
