Research Papers > Grabbing Metadata?

[Blaineoreski]

Hi,

I've got some long academic papers on my computer. Each have

DOI - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier

numbers.

If I imported the documents into Calibre...is there any comparable way of automatically downloading the correct Metadata for title / author / other info that there is with books?

Like this - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=340510 , but for academic papers.

Sincerely,

Blaine

biggest issue is that there isnt a single source for DOI queries. Most of the APIs Ive seen only provide DOI info for documents that company has published.

Zotero does the DOI lookups, and does the metadata lookup. There's a plugin, the Zotero Metadata Importer that will import a zotero export, adding the papers with correct metadata to Calibre and does custom columns. I haven't tried the import yet, I'm still adding in my collected papers to Zotero.

Ah! Got it. Thanks. Wish there was an easier way? I wonder if there's a website for DOI that returns all texts, and I could just copy and paste?

Here's something that may inspire the code-gifted among us:

looked at their url request structure: http://www.doi2bib.org/doi2bib + ?id= + {your doi here}.
then used their... well API to get the data (e.g. http://www.doi2bib.org/doi2bib?id=10.1016%2Fj.actpsy.2016.09.007) and the response is:
@article{Leinen_2016,
doi = {10.1016/j.actpsy.2016.09.007},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2016.09.007},
year = 2016,
month = {nov},
publisher = {Elsevier {BV}},
volume = {171},
pages = {36--46},
author = {Peter Leinen and Stefan Panzer and Charles H. Shea},
title = {Hemispheric asymmetries of a motor memory in a recognition test after learning a movement sequence},
journal = {Acta Psychologica}
}
then you can parse it the way you want.

Using ZMI ist the best way to import articles and the metadata with it. After I created covers from the files. For further handling and display of articles I am using MSSQL server. I attached a screenhot of a journal collection of
articles. If you are more interested for my method , pm me.
