Bibliography in TW using JabRef & Bibtex

[Steven Schneider]

I've long been searching for some bibliographic solutions within TiddlyWiki (search this group for bibtex and bibliography, and you'll see some threads I've started / contributed to over the years). 

I actually made some progress today and would welcome thoughts / suggestions / etc. to move this effort forward.

I am now able to import a bunch-o-references from Google Scholar into a JabRef dbase, export my dbase into a spreadsheet, make some modest edits, convert to JSON, and import into TW. 

At https://stevesunypoly.updog.co/bibtex/index.html is:

• bibliography.html - a TW with 100+ references directly imported from Google Scholar plus some documentation about steps taken
• first-jabref-bibtex-db.bib - my jabref dbase
  
• bib3.ods - export from jabref to ods (spreadsheet) format
• bib3.csv - csv
  
• bib3.json - json

Ideally, TW should read the .bib file directly, of course. But, one step at a time...

(FWIW: note use of updog.co to serve TW via Dropbox - easy, free, reliable!)

Ask and you shall receive! The TiddlyWiki gods have been kind to me this week! Based on Jeremy's BibTex importer plugin (available in pre-release), I'm now able to do, well, almost everything I imagined with respect to bibliography management using bibtex and importing into tiddlywiki.

Have a look:  https://stevesunypoly.updog.co/bibtex/bibliography3.html

More work to be done, but this is huge. If folks want to add some thoughts / desires here, I'll tally and add to wiki.

Hi Steve,

Really interested in this capability for managing my research but the link appears to be broken. Is there a newer version?

Thanks,

Barney

Oops: Moved things around. Here you go:

https://designwritestudio.updog.co/skunkworks/bibtex/bibliography3.html

You can also see the entire folder:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6pMEe8dCtrQYUUzRHNaTGJuYVE?usp=sharing which might be of interest, as it has some .bib files (and some early tests).

Let me know how it works for you.
