Introduction
GNU/Linux is a great operating system for scientists, for many reasons:
- It is stable, secure and runs on all sorts of hardware, from embedded systems to supercomputers.
- It is possible to create a highly customised setup to do what you want.
- Repetitive tasks can be automated.
- There are lots of useful free scientific programs and tools.
A guide for installing various applications on Ubuntu with assorted tips and tricks is at UbuntuScience/Howto (still a work in progress....)

- Otherwise, if no predefined format pattern is found or if detection proves to be difficult, manual data extraction is greatly simplified by cb2Bib. In most cases, such manual data extraction will provide with a new, personalized pattern to be included within the predefined pattern set for future automatic extractions.
- Once the bibliographic reference is correctly extracted, it is added to a specified BibTeX database file. Optionally, article PDF files, if available, are renamed to its citeID and moved to a desired directory as a personal article library.
