Bebop
Bebop provides a nice web interface to a list of publications stored in a BibTeX file. Bebop is based on a single BibTeX file as database. Listing by year, author, document type, keywords, research area. Search in document titles, generation of keyword cloud, displaying abstract, BibTeX and links to DOI, full text, slides, poster files, exporting to BibTeX. RSS feed of the publication list, unAPI support, zotero compatibility, adding new publications online (either by BibTeX code or by filling in specific fields), better user experience with AJAX. Permanent links to publications and categories, easily embedable into personal websites and CMS-based websites. Bebop uses j4bib to convert the BibTeX file into XML format. The web interface is built on top of the XML data to provide an easy navigation of publications. It is usable by anyone who keeps the list of their publications in BibTeX form. Installation takes 1 minute.
