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 citeseerurl field with a link to its content page on CiteSeer. The citeseerurl field must be in one of the following formats:

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/DDDDDD[.html], or
oai:CiteSeerPSU:DDDDDD, or
DDDDDD

where DDDDD is a sequence of digits. To find the sequence of digits (DDDDD) 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 citeseerurl field, you may download the CiteSeer fields by selecting BibTex -> Import Data from CiteSeer. Make sure you have selected the row(s) 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 citeseerurl field with the format specified in Importing An Entry From CiteSeer. To use this feature, select Tools -> Fetch Citations from CiteSeer.
