Re: org-ref: xxx-add-bibtex-entry with an org-capture like interface
That function inserts into a bibtex file, and if you don't save it then the new entry is not "findable", so it is somewhat critical to do that in my mind. It could make sense to check if there is a file attached to the buffer though, and only save in that case. That would preserve the current behavior, and solve your problem I think. WDYT?

Hello John, I have been able to hack something combining org-capture and the utility functions you mention that implements the workflow I described. There is only one issue: doi-utils-insert-bibtex-entry-from-doi contains a (save-buffer) call that does not play nicely when I call it on a temporary buffer. Why is the (save-buffer) there? doi-utils-insert-bibtex-entry-from-doi looks like an utility function, thus I think it should not try to save the current buffer. What do you think? Thank you. Cheers, Dan

There is also the biblio-lookup command (from biblio.el, https://github.com/cpitclaudel/biblio.el) that might be useful for this. Best, Alan
Re: org-ref: xxx-add-bibtex-entry with an org-capture like interface
This is basically what doi-add-bibtex-entry does. There isn't one function that does arxiv too, but there is arxiv-add-bibtex-entry. Those are both commands in org-ref. These don't pop up a buffer for approval, that is something you would have to build yourself. There are many workflows people want, the one above works for me when I am writing, and just want to add entries with minimal disruption. I usually polish the entries later if needed. I can see a slower, approach like you describe too. Daniele Nicolodi writes: > Hello John, > > sorry for the cryptic subject but I was unable to come up with something > better.

org-ref: xxx-add-bibtex-entry with an org-capture like interface
Hello John, sorry for the cryptic subject but I was unable to come up with something better. I am revamping my workflow to take notes about articles I read or that I save to be read later and I decided to explore if org-ref and the related utility packages fit what I would like to be able to do. org-ref offers quite a few very useful facilities, however, I would like an interface to add new entries to the bibliography more similar to org-capture: I would like to have a command that asks for an identifier (for example a URL, a DOI, an arXiv id) and pops up a buffer with a populated bibtex entry that can be verified and amended before being appended to a bibtex file (for example add some keywords). I think most of the building blocks are there, but before starting to hack something together myself I wanted to check if this functionality is already there and I missed it, and if it would be interesting to add it to the functionality shipped with org-ref. Of course, any hint on how to implement this effectively is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Cheers, Dan
