JResearch is nearing its first release Alpha 1.0 on August 15th. Features day one will include the complete backend.

• Importing of publications in bibtex, MODS, and RIS formats.
• Exporting of Publications in above formats. (RDF to be included however, we are still trying to determine which ontologies to include. I am leaning Luis towards the Dublin Core as it relates to publication metadata, but would like some direction in this area or the opinion of Researchers and/or Professors).
• Staff, Research Area, Publication, Project, Theses, and Citation Management
• APA and MLA Citation Styles
• 5 Plugins: Load Cited Records, Persistent Cited Records, Search, Auto Citation, Auto Biblio Generation
• JXtended libraries dependency: Integration of Forms Engine and Captcha/Recaptcha Libraries
