Gregory's Server
Bibliography in Emacs.
1. I found a Zotero guix package: https://github.com/guix-science/guix-science/pull/27/files
2. @goku12 mentioned https://github.com/mpedramfar/zotra emacs package, which can use zotero translators without zotero client itself!
3. There is org-capture-ref package. https://github.com/yantar92/org-capture-ref, which is similiar to zotra, but more ad-hoc.
4. It's seems that a good solution will be to package zotra and translation-server and setup org-protocol handler for capturing bib entries from browser.
@abcdw @goku12 For the past 20+ years I've maintained a bibliography using nothing but #Emacs #auctex & #bibtex mode on what's basically just a text (.bib) file. A short #elisp function also allows me to immediately open the document (say, pdf or djvu) corresponding to the entry, simply by entering
F9anywhere on the entry. This system has several advantages:- Emacs's regexp-search together with
reftex-citationallow for incredibly powerful and flexible searches through the database- Any other interaction niceties more or less easily implementable through elisp code. For instance, I have a custom function that abbreviate a selected piece of text according to ISO 4 standard
- It's basically just a text file, so in particular situations one can search or modify with any text editor
- Automatically integrated with Emacs & AUCTeX when writing TeX files (in Emacs of course :) )
Of course it's a purely subjective choice, I'm not saying it's objectively better than any other. But worth considering and trying!
