Adding References from BibTeX

It’s easy to import BibTeX references into CiteDrive, whether you’re adding a single BibTeX snippet from Google Scholar or importing an existing BibTeX database. Simply select Add reference by hand from the + Add menu, paste your BibTeX code and click Save Reference to confirm.

Select Add reference by hand and paste the copied BibTeX code into the popup:

Click Save Reference and you’ll find your Algorithms paper added to your project.
