# Export: BibTeX

> Export your references to BibTeX—one item, a selected set, or the entire current list (including filters). Exports contain reference metadata only (no PDFs).

### What exports include

* Cleaned metadata (title, authors, year, venue, pages, DOI/PMID/arXiv, etc.)
* Your **citekey** (used for `@references`). If missing, Clevia generates one.
* UTF-8 encoded `.bib` file.

<Note>
  Attachments (PDFs, images, supplements) are **not** part of BibTeX
</Note>
