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>.

That question has been answered several times on this list, including
very recently.
