I tried Zotero and equivalent softwares (mendeley) a few times but never caught.

My typical workflow involves a big gdoc that I can share with my advisor. I paste the title, year, author and number of citations (to know which articles are the most influential). And, most importantly, a link to the pdf (sometimes through sci-hub).

Then I write notes under those articles, pasting screenshots of equations that I want to find easily.

When I have to write my paper, and this is the only painpoint, I have to paste the titles to google scholar and copy the bibtex code. I might write a simple bot at some point to do it for myself.

I'm taking every advice to improve this!



Workflow:

1. copy doi and extract in into zotero (automatic looks for pdf). 2. better-bibtex (zotero add-on) will automatically generate the .bib entry. 3. tex editor automatically recognize bibtex entry. 4. write all the relevant stuff with proper formatting (ready for paper). 5. git and github for sharing.


that looks very cool!

I found https://gagarine.medium.com/use-sci-hub-with-zotero-as-a-fal... to get the pdf from sci-hub\

Thanks!
