Importing From CiteSeer

Importing An Entry From CiteSeer

JabRef can download information about a particular citation from the CiteSeer database. To start this process, add a new entry into your database and populate the URL field with a link to its content page on CiteSeer. The URL field must have the following format:

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/DDDDDD.html

where DDDDD is a sequence of digits. To find the DDDD sequence for a CiteSeer entry, goto the citation's document page of the format http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/nameYearTitle.html and click on the (Update) link for this citation. The URL for the Update link will contain the numeric ID for this citation.

Once you have populated the URL field, you may download the CiteSeer fields by selecting BibTex -> Import CiteSeer data. Make sure you have selected the row you wish to update.

Generating a Citation Database

Given a set of references, you can generate a list of documents that cite the elements of this set. To facilitate this feature, each citation in a database must have a URL field with the format specified in Importing An Entry From CiteSeer. To use this feature, select Tools -> Select Citations from CiteSeer.
