The Transcultural Studies Division invites Prof. Frank Bennett (Nagoya University) to hold a workshop on Juris-M, a cross-platform, multilingual reference manager (July 7, 2018).
Juris-M is a variant of the widely used, open-source reference management tool Zotero and the only reference manager with full support for Asian languages. As Zotero’s multilingual version, Juris-M is capable of storing and handling references in more than one language. By adding information on script, language and transliteration schema to entries in the user’s library, Juris-M generate citations and bibliographies from these variants (such as the romanized form of Japanese) to be used in word processors like Word. Furthermore, Juris-M uses (editable) styles to adjust citations and bibliographies to the user’s specifications.
