smart-scholar.el

Smart Scholar for Emacs

Introduction

Installation

I haven’t have chance to look into Melpa, so currently you are going to install from GitHub. You can do this easily with striaght.el. Basically, you will need to do:

(use-package smart-scholar
  :straight (smart-scholar :type git :host github
                           :repo "lihebi/smart-scholar.el"))

Feature

Usage

(use-package smart-scholar
  :straight (smart-scholar :type git :host github
                           :repo "lihebi/smart-scholar.el")
  :config
  (setq smart-scholar-html-dir "~/github/smart-scholar-dist/html")
  (setq smart-scholar-pdf-dir "~/github/smart-scholar-pdfs")
  (setq smart-scholar-bib-dir "~/github/smart-scholar-dist/bib")
  (setq smart-scholar-manual-bib-dir "~/github/research/bib/"))

Then, use M-x smart-scholar to fire up the UI.

Implementation

download html

generate bib from html

load/unload bib

download pdf

support major CS conferences

It cost time to download html and generate bib files. You can also download the final bib files https://github.com/lihebi/smart-scholar-dist

Quantum Computing: TODO

For each of them, the package will manage

• crawl the website for a bib file list, for each year
• for each bib entry, figure out what is the pdf link
• download pdfs automatically, in background
• do all these at once

Also, I noticed that downloading htmls and pdfs from publishers website is likely to be very slow, due to the visit limit of the publishers. Thus, I might want to store a git mirror of all webpages of these conferences. There might be copyright issues, but I think for webpages that is fine.

The pdf cannot be mirrored: they are too large and has copyright concern.
