## Q: Why can't JabRef find any DOI/ISBN/ePrint/etc.?

A: There are several reasons why JabRef cannot find your identifier online.\(E.g. one reason could be that your DOI is not listed in the [CrossRef database](https://search.crossref.org/) if you are using the CrossRef fetcher. Another reason could be that the search result for your DOI on [DOI.org](https://dx.doi.org) returns invalid BibTeX which is unable to be read by JabRef.\) Try a web search instead.

## Q: How do I export a subset corresponding to my LaTeX file?

A: Upon compilation, LaTeX generates a file with the extension ".aux". This files contains the keys of the cited references \(among other things\). Using this AUX file, JabRef can extract the relevant entries. Choose the menu **Tools → New sublibrary based on AUX file**. Select the reference library \(among the opened ones\) and specify the AUX file.

A: In **File → Library properties**, you will find a section named "Save actions". After enabling this feature, you can choose which actions should be performed for each field upon saving. That should help you keep your library tidy.

## Q: Search on Google scholar does not work anymore. Why?

A: Google scholar is blocking "automated" crawls which generate too much traffic in a short time. JabRef already uses a two-step approach \(with the prefetched list before crawling the actual BibTeX data\) to circumvent this. However, after too much crawls JabRef is being blocked. To solve this issue, see the section _Traffic limitations_ in the [Google Scholar help]().
