Hi everybody,
for anyone using The Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System ADS
(http://adsabs.harvard.edu/). An apple script for BibDesk, which
takes the Adsurl field of an entry copies that to the URL field and
retrieves the abstract for that article from ADS. Get the script
either below or at
http://astro.uni-tuebingen.de/~djkuster/phi/CODE/AppleScripts/
ADSabstract.scpt
Hope you find this useful.
Cheers
Daniel
