Have you looked at Zotero? You can download pdfs with metadata, and the metadata -- key words etc -- is saved in Zotero [1]. You can bulk download from Google Schoolar, you get the metadata and the pdf
Menedely takes pdfs and renames them with the title of the paper: not sure about other features it has. I've played about with TW's text-slicer [2] and TiddlyWeb to relate concepts and to citations. For instance, you read a paragraph, its laying out the history of a concept. Cut and paste the concept and the citation into TW. Its good if you have the pdf embeded in a tiddler, then cut and paste is a lot easier. I was wondering if TiddlyClip [4] could be refined to caputure metadata in a similar way to the zotero browser plugin Alex [1] https://www.zotero.org/download/ [2] http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/editions/text-slicer/index.html [3] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zotero-connector/ekhagklcjbdpajgpjgmbionohlpdbjgc?hl=en [4] http://tiddlyclip.tiddlyspot.com/ On 13 February 2016 at 16:35, andrew levy <andrewle...@gmail.com> wrote: > So I have seen there have been a few attempts at developing reference > management software with TW.
