However, I can’t do all the comments in Devonthink alone, as I’m working a lot on my PC at work which is not able to run DevonThink (at least I don’t know yet how I could run OS X on it at the same time with Windows XP). I have to try out DevonThink and will give the hyperlinks also a try. I also write it on hardcopies, the only drawback is the risk of having duplicates when using several BibTeX databases in parallel. In BibTeX, a “citekey” is used for inserting a citation of a source in the paper you write, so this is the unique identifier for each paper. I think I’ll try a similar approach as you describe: I agree with you that DevonThink does not seem to be suited for citing (in the academic way) but for connecting the information. All the best for your dissertation project! I hope this workaround helps a bit although I could not answer your scripts and latex questions. The bibliographic software is just a command-tab away… This might look complicated, but this way I can benefit from DTs search functions, and store all related information in one place. (I recently put a photo of my document windows on flickr, here’s the link. I found DTs wiki-links feature very useful with these numbers: Once you have these numbers as file names, you can refer to the documents quickly. I use this number for in-text citation as well as for any note in DevonThink, that refers to a BibTex entry. (In my system, first filed paper of today would be 070207-a etc…) In Bookends, I set up a special input field for that purpose and I also note this number on papers itself, if I have a hardcopy. In jabref (or bookends), assign a unique reference number to every document. My workaround:īookends stores only bibliographic information, DT the restĪll notes, PDFs etc… go into DTPro (this might involve copying your old notes as well) However, if you let every program do what it can do best, you could use both:Ĭurrently, I have a similar setting for dissertation writing, although I use bookends instead of jabref. Hi Martin, sorry but I am not an expert on scripts or jabref, but I had a similar problem at the beginning of my dissertation until I had to realize that DT is useful for information management but not (yet) for advanced citation management - features like generating bibliographies and most importantly, cite-while-you-write do not exist and are hard to simulate. That was a very long comment - thanks to everyone patient enough to read everything or at least have a look at it, Read the LaTeX files, but it could import the created pdfs?!
