+
+You should read [[./org-ref.org]]. It contains all documentation and installation instructions.

+
+1. jmax-bibtex runs a menu command with actions to run on a bibtex entry including looking up the doi for the entry in a variety of places, e.g. web of science related/citing articles, Google Scholar, Pubmed, and crossref, or opening a PDF associated with the entry.
+
+2. Bind M-n/M-p to next/previous bibtex entry.
+
+3. Sentence/title casing the title of a bibtex entry
+
+4. Function to replace non-ascii characters in bibtex entries
