two way syncing would be great. I’m still looking for a good way to manage downloading pdfs and organizing them. Been organizing them in bibdesk, but that requires downloading, naming, and linking to the bibdesk entry for ea paper.

thanks!

Thanks for putting this up.

I had a quick question: is there a way of getting the DOI from CiteULike without the http://dx.doi.org prefix so as to automatically populate BibDesk’s DOI field?

Thanks!

Nice script. You might like to use the JSON API to make the script more efficient. Also you’ll need to put a small delay in the main “page” loop or there’s a risk the user’s IP might get automatically blocked

Hopefully this can help someone else.

I’ve a question about syncing a GROUP with BibDesk. I have the following URL (I’ve hashed-out values for privacy):

http://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/group/#####/?rsskey=###############&fieldmap=posted-at:date-added&do_username_prefix=0&key_type=4

This URL is a group I’ve created that is private, hence the rsskey entry. When I put the URL in a browser, it downloads a file as I’d expect. However, when I follow the steps listed and try to add this URL to BibDesk, I get an error. The error says “The operation could not be completed.” and goes on to indicate that “No other information is available about the problem.” Additionally, I get a warning “!” icon to the right of the external library name in BibDesk.

Ideas?

As an aside: I’m trying to share resources as I come across them with my dissertation committee. I have moved from Zotero to CiteULike, as I think I’ll have better luck with CiteULike’s focus on collaboration, sorting, blogging/forum creation, etc. CiteULike + Zotero-esque browser plug-in would be ideal, as my workflow right now is (1) Pull citation from journal via Zotero plug-in; (2) Export citations from Zotero to CiteULike; (3) Upload files as needed.

Thanks for the post, dario!
