title: Managing journal references with JREF, an IBM-compatible program to simplify manuscript preparation.
abstract: JREF is a program which stores, manages and converts journal references. It is intended for the writer of articles and reviews, to simplify the task of keeping card indexes. Entries can be made from downloaded literature searches or from the keyboard. When writing, selections are made from the archival files, for conversion into the specific style of the chosen Journal. All files are ASCII text, accessible to most word processing programs. Once the accuracy of entries has been confirmed, these can be transformed into a perfectly punctuated bibliography.
