This unique identifier -is used as a link to the BibTeX file and other associated files. - -In the example below, the citekey "name2000word" is a study heading. A -study heading is defined as a heading the has a citekey as a title or as -the value of `bog-citekey-property`. When a citekey occurs anywhere else -(like "another1999study" below), they are taken as a reference to -another study (which may or may not have a subtree in this or another -Org file). - - * Topic heading - - ** TODO name2000word :atag: - - - - Article notes ... a reference to another1999study ... - -The default format for the citekey is the first author's last name, the -year, and then the first non-trivial word.

If the point is on a -citekey (like "another1999study" above), then that citekey will be used. -If this fails, many functions will try to take the citekey from the -first parent heading that is a study heading. - -- `bog-find-citekey-file` - - Open an associated file (usually a PDF) for a citekey. - -- `bog-find-citekey-bib` - - Open a BibTeX file for a citekey. - - BibTeX entries can be stored in one of two ways: - - - As a single file with many entries - - As single-entry files named citekey.bib within a common directory - -- `bog-search-citekey-on-web` - - Search Google Scholar for a citekey. The default citekey format (first - author's last name, year, and first non-trivial word) usually contains - enough information to make this search successful. - -- `bog-rename-staged-file-to-citekey` - - Rename a new file (usually a PDF) to be associated with a citekey. - -- `bog-clean-and-rename-staged-bibs` - - Rename new BibTeX files. If a separate BibTeX file is used for each - citekey, this function can be used to rename all new BibTeX files. - `bibtex-clean-entry` is used to clean the entry and autogenerate the - key. - -- `bog-create-combined-bib` - - Generate a combined BibTeX file for all citekeys in buffer. This is - useful if single-entry BibTeX files are used. - -Other useful functions include - -- `bog-goto-citekey-heading-in-buffer` -- `bog-goto-citekey-heading-in-notes` -- `bog-citekey-tree-to-indirect-buffer` -- `bog-refile` -- `bog-search-notes` -- `bog-search-notes-for-citekey` -- `bog-sort-topic-headings-in-buffer` -- `bog-sort-topic-headings-in-notes` -- `bog-insert-heading-citekey` -- `bog-open-first-citekey-link` - -# Variables - -Several variables determine where Bog looks for things. - -- `bog-notes-directory` -- `bog-file-directory` -- `bog-bib-directory` or `bog-bib-file` -- `bog-stage-directory` - -The variables below are important for specifying how Bog behaves. - -- `bog-citekey-format` - - A regular expression that defines the format used for citekeys - -- `bog-find-citekey-bib-function` - - A function to find a citekey in a BibTeX file. This determines whether - a directory of single-entry BibTeX files or a single BibTeX file is - used. - -# Keybindings - -A keymap is defined for Bog under the prefix `C-c "​`. If you prefer -something else (like `C-c b`), set `bog-keymap-prefix`. - -Some Bog functions are useful outside of an Org buffer (e.g., -`bog-search-notes`). These functions are available through the -`bog-commander` interface (based of off `projectile-commander`). This -can be bound to a global key for quick access. - -# Other approaches - -If Bog doesn't fit your workflow, there are a good number of other -approaches to explore. On the Org mode mailing list, there are some [nice](http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/78983) -[descriptions](http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/14756) of systems people have come up with for taking research -notes in Org. For a package that focuses on both taking research notes -and writing research articles, look into [Org-ref](https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/org/org-ref.org). \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
