BibSonomy ::  user :: jaeschke ::

This week's feature of the week is something for our more experienced users but I guess that applies to many Emacs users anyway. ;-) For all of you that write their LaTeX files using GNU Emacs I present a small script that simplifies its interaction with BibSonomy.

In our previous post we have discussed six new BibTeX entry types that have been implemented in BibSonomy. This time we will focus on one of those types: “electronic”. The type "electronic" allows you to store references to resources on the web as BibTeX. Of course the more natural (and comfortable) way of storing references to such resources in BibSonomy is using bookmarks. To make those bookmarked references available as BibTeX we have included a BibTeX export for bookmarks: Simply add “/bookbib” to any BibSonomy URL to get BibTeX entries of all bookmarked resources of the page. For example while http://www.bibsonomy.org/tag/puma shows you a collection of bookmarks and publications with the tag “puma” http://www.bibsonomy.org/bookbib/tag/puma will give you all BibTeX entries to all the bookmarked resources of said collection.

# electronic: references electronic publications like articles on the web or blog posts # patent: references patent documents # periodical: references magazines or other regularly appearing publications # preamble: references preambles # presentation: reference slides from your talks, seminars or lectures # standard: reference documents describing norms, guidelines, etc.
