![]() ![]() BE has a feature called Autocomplete (similar to the Targeted Browsing feature in Sente) which helps me highlight the Title of the book (article) from the pdf and tell it to search it somewhere in the web engines (google scholar, World Cat, or my local library website). I always go to the pdf and attempt to fill up the reference when I have some extra time latter. I rarely pick the reference from the web page. ![]() Having PDFs with incomplete reference or no DOI, however, Zotero is a huge pain. Zotero excels at getting data from browser (internet) and the attach the PDF over the reference. That is why I have to move back these partially filled references to either Bookends or Zotero.Ĭompleting the incomplete references in Zotero is a nightmare, I learned by the hard way. For that, I am now grateful of Mendeley.īut, ultimately I cannot live with Mendeley because it gets data from Google Scholar only–always junk data. Cleaning the junk library was much better than inserting references, one by one, for 3400 item. Most of them get junk reference, of course, as usual. Then, I dragged them to Mendeley, majority of them get their references filled. ![]() But, the data it gets was less than 20% success rate. Quite interestingly, Papers was able to pick some of them. Importing them to any of the references gives not a single relevant reference data–both Zotero and Bookends gave me zero result. I recently downloaded more than 3400 pdf files from a linguistic archive. As a result, it is a life saver when you have a lot of junk to clean up. While both Bookends and Zotero can extract some identifiers like DOI and ISBN, they never try to get the Title, the author and the date by directly reading the PDF file. This technology is unique to Mendeley, so far as I can tell. That is, Mendeley tries to get the reference information by reading the PDF file directly. Now, it is time to appreciate one great quality of Mendeley that no other reference manager can emulate: its attempt to do the undo-able. Being an early adopter (staring from its beta stage around 2008), I was left with frustrations with Mendeley. I get the worst, most incomplete reference from Mendeley. For one good reason: the data is always extracted from Google Scholar. WinEdt has a TeXify icon beside the LaTeX icon (the brownish lion).I have been very dismissive of Mendeley for many years now. If you compile with texify.exe (instead of latex.exe) BibTeX will be run automatically, and the resulting dvi will open in YAP. The dvi should look like my previous post.ġ. Now compile with LaTeX, and then compile again. The fact that you are not getting an error, but just getting question marks at the \cite points suggests that the bbl file is not right. \newblock Publishing House, Address of Publishing House, 1 edition, \expandafter\ifx\csname urlstyle\endcsname\relax Open the bbl file, and it should contain: ![]() Sometimes BibTeX will not find the file to BibTeX unless WinEdt has a main file set.Īfter doing this, compile with LaTeX. When you open the sample article tex file with WinEdt, it is advisable to set it as the main file (there should be an icon with a small green cross on the WinEdt interface). ![]()
