Hi There,
I am sorry to bother you, but I found myself rather lost when using
Bibdesk. I truly love it, and I am physicist/chemist using BibTeX
for quite some time, but I am fairly new to mac and to Bibdesk. I
would like to ask, if you can somehow search Web of science. Or, if
you can't, how you at least import stuff you already found? What is
(or should be) the typical workflow?
In my case, it's so: I find my papers, using safari/camino browser,
download them to a folder, give them some stupid name, which doesn't
follow well-thought pattern, then close browser and open them in
Preview and copy and paste author,title and other fields to Bibdesk,
where I end up filing new local url for corresponding pdf file. It's
rather slow and frankly annoying.
I bet it can do better. Can you please kick me in the right direction?
My workflow is:
go to journal e.g. Phys. Rev. B, find article. Download pdf.
Meanwhile, at the button marked article options, select "view bibtex".
(Other journals do this differently, but get yourself to the same
state.) This goes to a new browser page with the bibtex entry for the
paper. Shade the bibtex.
Go to apple menu, top left, scroll down to Services. First entry is
BibDesk, across to "add to Bibliography." Selected bibtex from webpage
is parsed, and added to currently open Bibdesk archive. Drag and drop
pdf from downloads folder to sidebar of Bibdesk item window, which has
automatically opened on import, which then autofiles the pdf to your
preferred pdfs folder. This is then searchable in Spotlight, and a
link to the journal webpage is then available, via the URL or the DOI
from the bibtex.
However, for some reason, BibDesk is no longer putting the contents of
the doi: field into the Doi: field in my bibtex archive. It used to,
before 1.3.15. is there some problem with case sensitivity? If I added
a "doi" field as well as a "Doi" field, would that work? It seems to
know that it is a DOI, as when I paste in the DOI, a link appears in
the sidebar to dx.doi.org/<DOI>.
