Description Usage Format Value Fields Public Methods Private Methods Examples

Rmarkdown documents use BibTeX files to include literature references. BibTeX files are ordinary text files conaining the literature reference records in a pre-defined format. BibTeX files can either be created manually, but for larger documents the manual creation and maintenance of BibTeX files becomes untractable. This can be remedied by using a reference manager such as Mendeley. Literature references can be exported automatically from Mendeley into BibTeX files. The exported BibTeX records go either to a given directory or to a specified file. The main purpose of this tool is to read the exported BibTeX file from Mendeley and collect them into a local BibTeX file.
