This page contains references and snippets of code of papis users to performe several tasks. They serve as reference and inspiration.

Open papers in the harvard database, this command will check the doi of the paper and open the relevant paper entry in adsabs.harvard.edu.

alias ads="papis browse -k ads"

You can add this function into your .bashrc file

xrefget() {
  papis explore    \
    crossref "$@"  \
    pick           \
    cmd 'papis add --from doi {doc[doi]}'
}

You can then query crossref, pick one of the retrieved paper metadata and add it to your library, i.e.

xrefget -a Einstein
