About JabRef
JabRef was founded 2003 and has since been used by many students and researchers. Our mission is to advance knowledge and improve scientific research. We value open access to information and believe modern science can built on an open institutional structure. This is why we develop JabRef as free open-source software and save your data in a simple text-based file format with no vendor lock-in. Fetch complete bibliographic information based on ISBN, DOI, PubMed-ID and arXiv-ID. Complete and improve bibliographic data by comparing with curated online catalogues such as Google Scholar, Springer or MathSciNet. Automatically rename and move associated files according to customizable rules. Customize and add new metadata fields or reference types. Organize articles based on keywords, tags, search terms or your manual assignments. Native BibTeX and BibLaTeX support, perfect for text-based typesetting systems such as LaTeX and Markdown.

CiteDrive
CiteDrive is a cloud-first, collaborative, BibTeX-native reference manager designed by and for Overleaf, LaTeX, and R Markdown users. It was designed from the ground up to stay out of your way so you can focus on writing.
CiteDrive was born out of a shared desire among our team, friends, and colleagues that managing references felt so cumbersome compared to today's consumer-grade tools and collaborative editors. Worse, there were no really good solutions that were truly designed for LaTeX and R Markdown authors, rather than being an afterthought.
CiteDrive continues to focus on refining and simplifying the experience of finding references and citing as you write. After some failed experiments, the first end-to-end solution for Overleaf and R Markdown users was tested in the fall of 2021, and quickly evolved into the platform that exists today.

Referencer
Referencer is a GNOME application to organize documents or references, and ultimately generate a BibTeX bibliography file. It is designed with the scientist/researcher in mind, and "document" may be taken to mean "paper" in general, although Referencer can deal with any kind of document that BibTeX can. Chief among Referencer's capabilities is the automatic acquisition of bibliographic information (metadata) for some kinds of documents. Upon adding a PDF file to a Referencer library file, it will automatically be searched for key identifiers such as a DOI code or arXiv identifier. If either of these is found, Referencer will attempt to retrieve the metadata for the document via the internet. However, metadata fetching for newer additions to arXiv is broken because of the change of format. Import from BibTeX, Reference Manager and EndNote. Referencer will automatically retrieve arXiv, PubMed and CrossRef metadata for PDF documents which have arXiv ID or DOI code.
