1. Standardizing bibliographic database fields

A bibliographic database contains bibliographic references.

A bibliographic reference contains mandatory information (source, title, year) and useful information (summaries, keywords). When citing a bibliographical reference in a report or article, the citation must enable the reader to find the reference without effort.

References can be downloaded from free (PubMed, Google Scholar, etc.) or paid databases (Scopus, Embase, etc.), directly from the journal publisher's website, or entered by hand.

Depending on the purpose of the database, it is also possible for several people from the same or different departments to enter these references.

Finally, if the base is shared, the search can be carried out by different people with different ways of thinking.
