Show HN: Search for BibTeX references from your terminal
github.comThis is rad! I wish it had MathSciNet as well.
MSN isn't free, but MRef (https://mathscinet.ams.org/mref) is up to the task of finding an article given enough information about it.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I keep the majority of my references in my reference manager but I can see this being really helpful when I'm finishing up a paper and I want to quickly track down a few additional references I don't have handy.
That's cool! For arXiv papers you can use Librarian: https://fermatslibrary.com/librarian
Very nice! I only wish Google Scholar included the DOI field...
Do people who aren't librarians use DOIs? Most citation formats don't even include it.
I love DOIs. If the bib format isn't too strict, I always include the doi and hyperlink it to dx.doi.org.
That way, if I need to check something in a reference quickly, I can just click the link in the bibliography.
Within emacs, I use gscholar-bibtex: https://github.com/cute-jumper/gscholar-bibtex
If you use org-mode, this is just one feature of an awesome full-blown bibliography management package called org-ref by John Kitchen (available on melpa or github). Exportation to LaTeX is just a couple of key strokes away. Check out its features from this short youtube video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t925KRBbFc
Org-ref is one of the most beautiful things that happened to the org-mode ecosystem IMO. It’s truly second to none in ease of use. Couple that with Helm fuzzy searching and any pdf/bibtex reference is a keystroke away. Absolutely worth a try!
Awesome, I have to try this!
