![]() ![]() But I don't usually have entire books as PDFs anyway. For conference proceedings articles or books, the journal acronym is replaced by an acronym of the conference or the publisher, or perhaps the full name of the publisher I'm not fully consistent there. It doesn't cover tagging or categorising. The encoded information is usually enough for me to identify the paper.Filenames remain compact and UNIX shell friendly.With the bibtex key penguin25:_survey_jir. Penguin et al, a Survey of Antarctic Leasure Activities, Journal of Improbable Results, 2025 jjj: abbreviation of journal of publication (variable length, but short).xxxx: first word of title, minus articles and other small words (variable length).dd: 2-digit year of publication (fixed length).aaaa: name of the first author (variable length).The user has better control on the rename process with the short python script and can easily adjust it to the needs, but recent JabRef versions are shipped with similar functionality.įor the filename, I use a system that I plagiarised from my PhD supervisor: Ps: I use the old stable 3.8.2 version of JabRef, because the new versions 4.x were less stable when I tried them. You can keep track of your work with git and you can restore old versions or synchronize the literature database on your different systems. The script will generate from a bib entry =. It is possible to add a link to the filename with JabRef in the bibtex database.Ī python script pybibtexcleaner transcribes the special characters in the title and moves all sorted files to one folder with file names in the format bibkey-title.pdf I manage publications with JabRef in a bibtex database. Here's my alternative script: import bibtexparserĬopyfile(file, os.path.join(out_folder, id)+'.pdf') I didn't really like the way Stein's script is set up, though I do owe him the inspiration and indication to use JabRef. Is there a simple method or perhaps lightweight software that I can use which can help me with this sort of task? This could work, but it would require referring to and managing a spreadsheet which would contain all the meta data. I thought of keeping the publication metadata such as authors, date of publication, type of publication and type in a separate text or excel file and naming the PDF files by ID, like 1.pdf, 2.pdf, etc. I would like to have a consistent way to manage such a database. The above is OK for journal papers and theses, but not so much for books or other kinds of publications. Not all publications can follow this format.You can only have so many characters in a filename. This causes problems in certain operating systems or software such as OneDrive.
