Re: Is there any interest in syncing Bookends for iOS with Zotero?
First off, I hope you are safe and well Serge! Thank you so much for your work on this feature. What exactly do you mean when you say "work locally"; do you mean a Zotero database on a desktop macOS system whose location could be shared via iCloud or Dropbox?

Re: Jumping from Word to Bookends
I am very short on time, but yes I will probably add it there eventually, possibly to the existing tool and add a config option so you can choose to prefer PDF or prefer reference...

Re: Jumping from Word to Bookends
I didn't really test this, and I'm sure someone who is better at Applescript can improve this, but this will take selected text (a uniqueID) in any app, copy it to the clipboard, then try to find the uniqueID ref, try to open the first attachment and if no attachment, open the ref in bookends: #!/us...

Re: Jumping from Word to Bookends
My Bookends Tools for Alfred includes a couple of actions that almost do what you want. For example I have an action that can take a selected Bookends unique id from a temp ref and search for it in Bookends with one key binding, using this fairly simple applescript underneath which copies selection ...

Re: Add Replace feature to the REGEX search
Hi Jon, <jats> tags are sometimes present when I use Quick add... which uses Crossref , for example for this DOI [10.1126/sciadv.abm2219] Bookends calls crossref and you can see from the API you use the abstract is wrapped in <jats:p> tags (I use the jq command to show just the JSON abstract field):...

Re: From browser to bookends
Crossref does have some delay for new articles. This drives me crazy, and I end up with just adding these shiny baby DOIs to a temporary note and every so often importing them after a week or two.

Re: Add Replace feature to the REGEX search
I also would like a regex replace. As an example, jats XML litters my abstracts and while Zotero seems to be able to strip this XML out, Bookends doesn't so I have a bunch of <jats:p> / </jats:p / <jats:title> etc. in abstracts. I could go through each tag and manually find/replace, but regex's supe...

Re: Scripting 'Scan Document' function without invoking UI
is it just me, in my madness? Madness? I concur! :P If you are using markdown, why are you not using Pandoc's CSL citeproc engine instead of the [clunky] document scanning? Bookends can output [@citekey] Pandoc citations, and Bookends + Markdown + Pandoc yields a robust and fully automated output w...

Re: Importing .csl style into bookends
Having made my own CSL and Bookends styles, I much prefer Bookends format manager! The CSL editors I tried are less intuitive, and the CSL XML spec, while comprehensive, takes more time to understand. Writing a converter is a non-trivial task, each system represents the underlying data in different ...

Re: Case protection in BibTeX export format
The braces make the bib file look dirty. Furthermore, it will mess up bibliographies that want a specific type of case on the references. Bibliography styles are made for this purpose. One can have all in caps, all in small, or in title case outputs in the Latex from the same bibliography file usin...

Re: More flexible citekey generation
My personal preference would be for CamelCase without hyphens, semicolons or underscores, I'm not quite sure what advantage making citekeys longer (even if just by 1 character) has?

Re: [Feature Request] Paper Retraction Checker?
A related API that will be invaluable is for Pubpeer; Zotero already has support but a more general API is apprently available: https://pubpeer.com/static/faq#33

[Feature Request<SOLVED>] Paper Retraction Checker?
Endnote has just added a tool to check for whether a paper has been retracted when you are citing it (in their CWYW tool). Zotero, Papers and a few others have already supported checking for retractions for some time. There are several sources of this data. Zotero, Papers, Endnote etc. are apparentl...

Re: Case protection in BibTeX export format
Do you and any others reading this think it would be useful if Bookends surrounded any words in this list that begin with a capital letter in curly brackets? In such as case, if Shaddai and Abram were entered in preferences you'd get {The Names {{Shaddai}} and {{Abram}}}. In my script to do this po...
