Bibliographic references:state of the art,a possible solutionJordan Biserkov, Lyubomir PenevPensoft Publishers
Facts of lifeDifferent projects have different (usually limited)
goals, scope, funding, expertise, etc.Even the results of successful ones are usually too
specific and incompatible with similar projects around the world
But that’s OK - trying to please everyone is the surest way to fail
Online databases
Bibliographic referencesThere are multiple online databasesThey have different focus and scopeThey store information not only in different formats,
but with different levels of granularityThey have different user interfacesThey have different APIsThere are 30+ actively developed offline reference
managers There are ~20 file formatsThere are ~ 600 citation styles
20 file formats

Universal standard?
How to be successful?
What do people want?People don’t want multiple competing databasesPeople don’t want to have to learn multiple interfacesPeople want simplicityPeople want ease of usePeople want a single place to find references
