BibGene is a BibTeX-compatible Macintosh application for maintaining databases of references to scientific papers. BibGene was designed with two purposes: To maintain BibTeX information in a cross-linked object-oriented format which makes it easier to detect and correct common mistakes such as multiple spellings of an author's or journal's name. To provide a way to store information that does not fit well into the BibTeX framework, such as citations from one paper to another, pointers to online preprints, and author addresses.
