![]() It includes the following features: Multiple Citation Styles The initial release of Maldini (0.0.1) makes some initial progress towards addressing these demands. Reference lists should only contain things that have been cited.Reference lists should be consistently formatted to a common standard. ![]() It should be simpler to produce a citation than copying and pasting the reference in full from somewhere else, and the reference produced should have the same rigour as in any other academic context. Producing reference information for web content should be both simple and rigorous.Bibliographic information should be maintained in a single place, so that errors can be corrected once and then automatically propagated elsewhere.There are at least four reasons for this: The idea behind Maldini is simple: when I write content for my blog, I shouldn't have to manually copy and paste those references and their corresponding citations. If I am writing the paper in LaTeX, I should be keeping track of the references relevant to my paper in a bibliography management program such as BibDesk, which stores those references in a BibTeX file. Suppose I am writing a paper on a topic, and wish to produce content both for the paper and for a series of blog posts on related topics. It is also intended as an advertisement for Nesta itself, particularly for academics. It is intended to streamline the workflow of those who write content both in LaTeX and for the web. It allows citations and reference lists to be automatically generated from BibTeX files, using a syntax analogous to the commands used for the same purpose in LaTeX. This blog post brought to you by Google chat and the number 3.Maldini is a citation and bibliography plugin for Nesta. We of course moved on to discussing how research needs an iTunes or, as Geoff Bilder has called it, an iPapers. But I’ll tolerate these, as long as I can get to it from a database index with a nice frontend. While we have different needs for citation management, we’re both annoyed by the default filenames many publishers use – like fulltext.pdf and sdarticle.pdf. I’d still like to understand the impact the non-minimal BibTeX is having could be bad citation styles are causing part of the problem. The papers cite key is meaningless noise too (but mathscinet is meaningful noise).”) To get around this, he does the same search/download “a million times”. The real papers entry (top) not only has screwy names, but junk instead of the full journal name. ( oops! he adds “I understated how bad papers is. He followed up with an example of the “awful” awful, lossy markup Papers produces which loses information including the ISSN and DOI he prefers the minimalist BibTeX. Edit the cite key to something mnemonic.Click on “Proxy this” in my bookmarks bar.I guess the point is that, if I am writing something and I know I want to cite it, and I know there is a “official” BibTeX for it, I just need a way to get that more quickly than: Social bibliographies (though I am not against them it is just not a burning issue).Have some decent way to organize notes by “project” or something.Get BibTeX entires from MathSciNet, ACM, etc.Organize the PDFs (Papers does this, when it doesn’t botch the author names and the title) preferably in the file system, so I can use Dropbox.I thought it would interesting to look at his requirements. We came to the conclusion that “manage PDFs” is my primary goal while “get out good citations” is his primary goal. I got to talking with a mathematician friend about citation management.
