Hi
Vikas,
Sorry I did not reply earlier. Your original email prompted me
to develop a more functional workflow.
I have developed a few
functions that make organizing research much easier. I have functions
that reorganize, rename, and add links to pdfs, search for and add links
to pdfs that have been organized by other programs (Papers2), import
notes from Skim, rename org-bibtex headlines to a format I find more
useful (e.g. Author (year) Title), and do a few other things that I find
convenient. The renaming functions also look up crossrefs, and the
headline renaming function lets you know if they are missing. The
functions are partially documented and have a few customizable functions
so they can be set up for different systems. Also note that the pdf
organizing system uses the conventions of my old research organizing
tool (Papers2) but this can be modified without too much work. I have
attached a file with the functions. The bottom of the file also contains
the variables that I have set and
hooks that I have added to make the functions integrate more smoothly
into my set up. They may serve as a guide if you choose to use them.
Additionally,
here is the capture template I use for bibtex entries, it is based
largely on Richard's but it has you import more bibtex info during the
main capture process, and uses a function to help you find crossrefs.

When I have some time I
will follow up to explain how the functions work in more detail. In the
mean time let me know if you have any questions.
All best,
Leonard
