Refnotes plugin: Development version

[Mohammad Rahmani]

Refnotes is a plugin jointly developed with Mark S. Recently there were some requests to add features like different output styles and support for other reference types like conference papers, websites, theses, ...

I have pushed a beta version in a development branch on GitHub. Those interested can download and test. Feature requests, comments and feedback are welcome!

The 1.6.0 beta added some view templates to display bibtex entries.

Hi Mohammad,

I looked around the new update of the plugin. I see that the default templated has code in it, but the others are empty. It isn't clear to me how to fill in the templates and/or create new templates for the plugin to use. How would I create a new template?

Hi Odin,

 Actually I am working on the update! I will add some more templates!

 The new design will simplify adding your own template. If you note when there is a missing template the default template is used.

 

 I will notify you here of a new update for testing!

Best wishes

To use Tiddlywiki as reference manager, the best practice is to import the bibliographic libraries generated by other tools (manually or automatically).

The Tiddlywiki Bibtex plugin provides a deserializer that can convert bibliographic entries in .bib files into individual tiddlers.

There are sevarl good online tools to generate libraries of bibliographic data. Some simple and general purpose online tools are given below.

BibGuru

BibGuru generates citation and bibliographic data by searching and finding references including books, papers, websites, and other types. It is possible to manually enter the bibliographic data.

Hi Mohammad!

Excited to see the development and looking forward to when I can test it!
Thanks for notifying us about bibguru. Such a quick way to generate bibtex files. I am going to fiddle it around into my workflow.

Hi Odin,

 You can always download the latest development version of Refnotes from https://github.com/kookma/TW-Refnotes/tree/development

See docs and packaged folder!

Here I have attached a latest demo wiki. Look at

demo/test-newRef
demo/bibtex/01 showrefsAPA

tiddlers and see how this beta version handles APA citation style (based on Andres) .

This beta version also distinguishes between different material types so it recognizes book, article and website!

I will add support for other material types!

My current plan is Refnotes support two citation styles APA 7 and Numbered.

I think it does not make sense to add many citation styles as code will get large and confusing!

@Springer

Please check and review if the this beta version addresses your previous requests

Best wishes

Mohammad,

Are there any plans to be able to add citation references to a particular bibliographic entry? What I mean by that is say I'm referencing a book. There will be one bibliographic entry for the book. However, my research will cite many different pages from that book in different parts of a tiddler or different tiddlers entirely. I don't want a separate bibliographic entry for each page, but rather a reference to the single bibliographic entry for the book with a page number appended (or something like that). It's an easy ask, but may be complicated to implement. Any thoughts along those lines?

Thanks,

Damon

[Mohammad Rahmani]

In Refnotes, the refs macro inserts citation. A book has a citation key (a tiddler title contains bibliographic data). The macro insert author (year) to cite the reference!

So, to this end there is no link to a certain page number. As long as you have that single citation key Refnotes always refer to that book and do not understand page number.

But you can duplicate that entry and add a page number for example in the title field. I will look in APA 7 standard (the one Refnotes uses now) to see if there is any recommendation for that.

Correction

The macro for citation is ref NOT refs.  In APA 7 I cannot see reference to certain book page, but Googling shows something like (author, year, pgae) like (Ruston J., 2004, p. 27)

I will investigate this!
