Wow… am I one of the first to post on this forum? Jabref is great software - in most ways better than the proprietary reference managers I’ve used. Many thanks to the developers and the community for creating and maintaining it. My question is: Recently, when I try to search for a publication usi…

We have just released JabRef 3.7 which should fix the problems with the Medline search. Version 3.7 is now freely available at FossHub or at GitHub .

Hi @Schamess and congratulations for inaugurating this forum :wink: I just tried searching using the medline fetcher and it is working for me. Have you tried another fetcher such as Google Scholar? If this is working the firewall should not be a problem… Is there any relevant feedback in the “Er…

Many thanks for getting back to me. I couldn’t get Google Scholar to work either. I’m attaching the log file - I’m not sure how to interpret it but maybe it will make sense to you? Again, I appreciate your help! 08:18:08.348 [AWT-EventQueue-0] INFO net.sf.jabref.importer.OpenDatabaseAction - Ope…

That makes sense. I found no fewer than eight instances of java on my PC, and made firewall exceptions for all of them. Unfortunately, that didn’t solve the problem. I think maybe it’s being blocked elsewhere in the network. I called the help desk again, and they’ve referred it to their engineer…

Any update? Could you solve your problem?

Hello. I have exactly the same problem. I appears just like that last week although I’m using JabRef almost every day. Medline has been working for years before that…

Hi, I also have had problems fetching entries from Medline the last few days after it had been working generally before. Fetching through DOI works, but I prefer Medline, because the data is better curated and includes the abstract.

Medline is currently changing its infrastructure which also affects JabRef (more technical details here… ). We have fixed the Medline fetcher in current development builds and are currently in the process of releasing JabRef 3.7 So, if you don’t want to wait and to test it out you can use a developm…

Medline changed something in their backend interface, which lead to problems with JabRef. The issue is fixed in the current development version and we plan to release the fix as part of JabRef 3.7 next week.
