Just noticed these queries from 'sci'... I can add a bit to two of these queries...
1. I too have been looking for a way of carrying my (very large) Jabref bibliographic database around in my Android Tablet... I use it as an aide memoire in formal and informal settings... There is not a great deal of choice. And one problem is the size of my database. The Android Tablet does not seem to like large files. A selection from my Jabref data base works better. But that is not what I wanted. Refmaster works well on my Android Tablet. But, obviously, slow to load large files. But it works. I have tried Eratosthenes, but am not happy with it. It cannot load large files, and some of the detail of displaying Jabref files is untidy. Still a work in progress. 2. Jabref in Word documents. I am having some success with Docear4Word http://www.docear.org/software/add-ons/docear4word/download/ Docear4Word is a sort of sub-set of the Docear academic literature management project - which has never really taken off for me. But Docear4Word works quite separately. You just have an extra bar in your Word document - which calls up and inserts material from your Jabref database into your document. It works, it is pretty sturdy - but still a bit ragged around the edges. Joeran Beel and the team at Docear are very responsive to queries and suggestions.

I find the JabRef program extremely powerful and useful, with tons of customizable features, and am looking forward to using it for the long-term. On my Android tablet, I plan to use the $2.99 Eratosthenes App to read in my BibTex database file, which will be stored on Microsoft Onedrive, along with all my PDFs I have a few questions re: smoothing this transition (my library currently includes >4000 PDFs, and I typically can add ~200+ new ones each month, all of which are included in PubMed)... Currently, I subscribe to email TOC alerts from a variety of journals, and to custom searches from NCBI. This approach covers the vast majority of my new PDF acquisitions. I would like to simplify the process of adding these new PDFs to my reference management database in as seamless a way as possible, including all associated meta-data. I noticed that JabRef has an Import option involving "Mr DLib" to extract metadata, but on several test runs, I've found this to be lacking in coverage (articles are not recognized at all, etc). It seems that Mendeley and ReadCube, for example, have more extensive/accurate extraction algorithms? Does anyone have pointers to address this issue, or alternative overall approaches for adding new references? I've thought about copying the titles from the email TOC alerts into the JabRef PubMed search dialogue, which would let me grab the metadata, but then not sure about downloading the actual PDFs ? Is there some RSS-based method that's preferable? Another work-around I've considered is dumping all the saved PDFs into ReadCube, letting it do the work, exporting the library to BibTex, and importing back into JabRef, but once again, somewhat cumbersome. Lastly, is there any recommendation for a Microsoft Word citation plugin of some kind for JabRef?
