Hi Jon, OK that's great, I had customised my RIS filter myself which is why I didn't notice you had now changed it.

I never got a reply. This backend system has now made its way all the way to Science:

http://science.sciencemag.org/content/354/6319/1587

And it is still exporting Bookends-specific RIS using n2 for the significance / abstract...

OK there is no way to add the Preprint type without using Unused 0-20, adding a Field21 or something? I agree you can't overwrite any existing fields...

NilsMS — I'd love this too, but I don't think there is an accepted standard on how to forward link from a preprint to the published paper?

And ...

Hi,

Perhaps this is biased by my academic field, but as academic publishing is changing I see that preprint servers are becoming common for more and more academic fields. I know Bookends is very flexible and I can change this for myself, but just wondered if Bookends shouldn't have a dedicated ...

There is a direct bookends compatible RIS output in Citation Tools, e.g. http://biorxiv.org/highwire/citation/25230/bookends — possibly there is a compatibility issue with the abstract, requiring a small edit of the RIS import filter but give it a try first.

Jon has also improved Biorxiv import ...

I thought this file watching utility may be potentially helpful for you guys:

But looking at the database.BDB and database.BDB.JOURNAL files and they don't update when edits are made, so you can't use file changes to automatically trigger the update ...

Dear Jon, thanks for considering this!!!

Hi, I would like to set up the quick search that for spotlight it is also "live" (no need to press enter). To user manual states it isn't live for performance reasons, but my searches after pressing enter are faster than I can easily perceive, and this must depend on the age of the machine and the ...

If I use the Spotlight quick search, the PDF results can be displayed in the attachments panel. In Scrivener and Papers, when your search includes a PDF it also highlights the searched for term within the PDF panel (and scrolls to the first match):

Dellu: OK, I suspect you are visualising your PDF constantly as you write, so you need your .BIB file to be up-to-date continuously. I think the Applescript route is the only way to go, it seems much less trouble than dealing with duplicates. Don't forget you can use many different apps to assign ...

I think it is unfeasible for Jon to support the two formats, and although it would be great to be able to transform between the two, it will probably require a third-party text processing script/tool. I think Bookends supports the applescript necessary to find the references and get back the ...

Yes OK agreed, this would be very non-trivial to implement the full feature set. I wonder how/if Papers 3 deal with this (they support the temporary citation, but no idea about the scanning)?

Pandoc[1] is an excellent text processing engine which integrates into many different workflows. For Scrivener users it offers more powerful features than MMD alone. We can use a custom format (Pandoc = `@`u1) and settings in BE preferences (use [] for temporary citations) to generate temporary ...

Yes, there are multiple routes to generate a bibliography in the Scrivener > MMD > LaTeX route:

Use standard BE temporary citations and scan the .md file using Bookends.
Use MMD style citations and transform then to BibLaTex format. LaTeX does the formatting.
Use Pandoc and pandoc-citeproc to ...

OK makes sense!
