Hello everyone,
For some reason I recall that there is an Extract from Bibliography feature in Paperpile. Like it extracts the references in a bibliography and create entries for them in paperpile if they don’t already exist. Am I imagining or the feature actually exist.
Also, I saw feature on the features speaks of summaries of papers, I also can’t find where that is, where do I “type or create” a summary for a specific paaper. Please guide me.
Thank you.
An extraction feature like you describe would be great but is not a direction we’ve been able to take yet. Not sure which software can do this.
We are able to generate summaries from a PDF’s highlights and notes. The options Summary and Export appear at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar on our beta PDF viewer. Let me know if you can’t find it or need more details.
Hello Vincente,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
Not sure where I came up with that extraction feature/idea from, and no, I’m not aware of any software that does that. I just thought it is there and I couldn’t find it. thank you for clarifying.
I was able to locate the summary/export feature. Thanks for that as well.
I think under the summary/export concept, I really wish that paperpile considers improving the “notes” field on a paper/book entry. This is where a true summary should be, I go through hoops to actually have a complete summary on a paper or a book-chapter. This is really essential to the nature of the software, I want to think about this “notes” or any other new field a short “literature review” or my own “abstract”
Thanks again.
Bye now!.
