Overview
In academic writing, we frequently cite sources of information and list our citations in the References section of a document. Our TealSite static site generator is able to format references using a directory of files as a source of bibliographic information. An author using TealSite only needs to refer to the unique identifier of a source (and an optional page number) in order to generate both the inline citation and the reference entry. At the moment, TealSite ingests RIS and PubMed entry formats, which the user must either find online somewhere or write by hand. A lightweight, offline application that can manage references and save them in one of these formats would be useful.
This project involves creating a lightweight bibliography/citation manager using Python and Qt for Python. It is a greenfield project with no existing code.
