> [Matt and William's setup] I have looked for a good way to keep track of academic papers (pdfs) and Bibtex for a long time. I'd love to see a worg page on this topic.
Meanwhile, I have found some sweet Bibtex-search interfaces for Emacs. These will query a academic search engine and can copy Bibtex entries directly to a .bib file. I found bibsnarfl[fn:1] being the most interesting, but a similar code is available for PubMed[fn:2]. Unfortunately, being limited to certain fields, I am personally not able to adopt either. It would be great to have an interface to a general academic search engine (Google Scholar, ugh?). Imagine the combination of a Emacs-powered interface to some search engine, a university network and some magic snip that would download a pdf, add it to a .bib-file (removing annoying entries and adding a sensible key), and making a nice, easy-to-browse Org-file. One day, maybe... –Rasmus Footnotes: [fn:1] http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/bibsnarf.el [fn:2] http://www.bioinformatics.org/texmed/
