--- **I'm looking for someone to work with me on developing Paperlib.** If you are interested please contact me. ## Introduction I'm a computer science PhD student. Conference papers are in major in my research community, which is different from other disciplines. Without DOI, ISBN, metadata of a lot of conference papers are hard to look up (e.g., NIPS, ICLR etc.). When I cite a publication in a draft paper, I need to manually search the publication information of it in Google Scholar or DBLP over and over again. **Why not Zotero, Mendely?** - A good metadata scraping capability is one of the core functions of a paper management tool. Unfortunately, no software in this world does this well, not even commercial software. - A modern UI. No extra useless features. What we need may be to: import a paper, scrape the metadata of it as accurately as possible, simply organise the library, and export it when we are writing our papers. That is Paperlib. ## Highlights - Scrape paper’s metadata with many scrapers. Support writing your metadata scrapers. Tailored for many disciplines. - Fulltext and advanced search. - Smart filter. - Rating, flag, tag, folder and markdown/plain text note. - RSS feed subscription to follow the newest publications on your research topic. - Locate and download PDF files from the web. - macOS spotlight-like plugin to copy-paste references easily when writing a draft paper. Also supports MS Word. - Cloud sync, supports macOS, Linux, and Windows. - Beautiful and clean UI. - Extensible. You can write your own extensions. ### With Extensions, you have: - Show citation counts. - Summarize papers by LLMs. - Automatically tag papers by LLMs. - Semantically search your library with natural language, such as: 'papers written by Geoffrey in 2024'. - Chat with LLMs about your papers. - and more... ## Download and Install » Download Here « ### Windows ⚠️ You may notice that a warning shows when you install Paperlib on Windows.
