Listing and searching¶
papers list is a powerful command, inspired by unix's find and grep. It
lets you search your bibtex, output the result in a number of formats, or
perform actions on the matched entries.
Basic listing¶
Pretty listing by default (otherwise pass --plain for plain bibtex):
$> papers list
Perrette2013: A scaling approach to project regional sea level rise and it... (doi:10.5194/esd-4-11-2013, file:1)
Search with keywords¶
Search with any number of keywords:
$> papers list perrette scaling approach sea level
... (short list)
$> papers list perrette scaling approach sea level --any
... (long list)
$> papers list --key perrette2013 --author perrette --year 2013 --title scaling approach sea level
... (precise list)
Tags¶
Add tags to view papers by topic:
$> papers list perrette2013 --add-tag sea-level projections
...
$> papers list --tag sea-level projections
Perrette2013: A scaling approach to project regional sea level rise and it... (doi:10.5194/esd-4-11-2013, file:1, sea-level | projections )
Output formats and actions¶
papers list supports a number of special flags such as --duplicates,
--review-required, --broken-file. You can then output the result in a
number of formats (one-liner, raw bibtex, keys-only, selected fields) or
perform actions on it (currently --edit, --delete, --add-tag, --fetch,
--rename).
For instance, it is possible to manually merge duplicates with:
