RefSenseRefSense is the name of both a web interface to PubMed, and a set of command line tools for accessing PubMed. (Note: RefSense was previously distributed as 'Biblio'.)The web interface is currently broken. It used to provide easy access to PubMed's data as well as some useful tools not found at the actual PubMed site. The command line tools allow you to search PubMed from a terminal (such as xterm), retrieve web pages or PDFs, find related articles, convert to BibTeX (convenient for LaTeX users), and much more by only using a keyboard. And you can get convenient word completion on titles, author names, etc, as well! AvailabilityDownload version 1.2, distributed under the GNU Public License.
