Re: Managing bibtex database using org-mode?

those look pretty useful. I have been working on some utilities to download
bibtex entries from a doi in emacs, and also the pdf if you have
permission, and the module knows how to do it. The code can be seen here:
https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/user/doi-utils.el

It is still a work in progress, but if you are lisp savvy it is hopefully
readable. It still needs some documentation, and the function names may
still change. I will probably integrate this code into an org-file to be
tangled to create the el file and provide the documentation.

The idea is to run

M-x insert-bibtex-entry-from-doi RET some-doi

and you will get a new cleaned bibtex entry at your cursor, the pdf will be
downloaded and saved as bibtex-key.pdf, and an entry in a notes.org file.

feedback would be welcomed!
