11. What is JabRef?  JabRef is a Java-based, BibTeX-based biography reference manager  JabRef is cross platform  BibTeX is a biography format BibTeX is a standard and long-lived format BibTeX is portable because of text format  LaTeX is one of the most popular science text formatting system 11 Wireless and Broadband Network Laboratory (WBNLAB) Dept. of CSIE, NTUT

12. How to use JabRef?  Create a database  Add new BibTeX entry Select type ○ Article, Conference, Proceedings, Book, …etc Input ○ Author, Title, Journal (Proceeding), Year, Pages  Add from preformatted text ACM IEEE 12 Wireless and Broadband Network Laboratory (WBNLAB) Dept. of CSIE, NTUT

13. JabRef Demo  Execute JabRef  Add new database  Add new entry  Essential Information  Add from ACM Digital Library Add from ACM Digital Library  Add from IEEE Xplore Add from IEEE Xplore Wireless and Broadband Network Laboratory (WBNLAB) Dept. of CSIE, NTUT13

14. Get BibTex Information from ACM Digital Library Wireless and Broadband Network Laboratory (WBNLAB) Dept. of CSIE, NTUT14

15. Get BibTex Information from IEEE Xplore Wireless and Broadband Network Laboratory (WBNLAB) Dept. of CSIE, NTUT15

16. Tips on Paper Organizations and JabRef  Use “Group” in JabRef to organize similar but not identical topics  Assign a directory for putting downloaded paper files Relative file location  Rename paper files 12345678_{PAPER TITLE}.pdf a18-michelle_{PAPER TITLE}.pdf 16 Wireless and Broadband Network Laboratory (WBNLAB) Dept. of CSIE, NTUT

17. Choose Your Research Topic(s)  New Ideas Scope Viewpoint  Improvement Limitation Approximate NP Complete  Modification Limitation Scenario 17 Wireless and Broadband Network Laboratory (WBNLAB) Dept. of CSIE, NTUT

18. Prepare Your Paper  Motivation (Why choose the topics??) We want a better solution We want to apply on more strict or general scenarios  Related Works We DO read a lot We DO not copy others We DO not find a better idea  Methods  Simulation (Analytic) Results  Conclusions and Future Works 18 Wireless and Broadband Network Laboratory (WBNLAB) Dept. of CSIE, NTUT

19. Present Your Paper  Presentation Format Microsoft PowerPoint OpenOffice Impress PDF  Figures Right Resolution Louder than words  Titles Sentences  Page Numbers  Reference {NAME}, “TITLE”, {BOOK TITLE}, {DATE} 19 Wireless and Broadband Network Laboratory (WBNLAB) Dept. of CSIE, NTUT
