A python script to get a fancy paper title based on given DOI or PMID
pubmex.py is a script to get a fancy paper title based on given DOI or PMID (can be also combined with macOS Finder)
Format of the title:
a first author . a last author - (title("dotted") or your customed title) . PMID . journal . year . pdf
e.g.
Kelley.Scott.The.evolution.biology.shift.towards.engineering.prediction-generating.tools.away.traditional.research.practice.EMBORep.2008.pdf
Nowadays, it’s not a big issue, with all Mendeley and other tools, however…
I don’t want to put any PDF file collected on the way into my library, because then it gets super big (and then it’s hard to sync it for example with Dropbox). So now I can keep these PDF files into pdf-icebox and re-name them niecely automatically:
$ ls
Hnisz.Sharp.Phase.Separation.Model.Transcriptional.Control.Cell.2017.pdf
Sharp.Hockfield.Convergence.The.future.health.Science.2017.pdf
Usage:
$ pubmex.py sharp2017.pdf
Sharp.Hockfield.Convergence.The.future.health.Science.2017.pdf
mv sharp2017.pdf --> ./Sharp.Hockfield.Convergence.The.future.health.Science.2017.pdf
$ pubmex.py Query.Konarska.pdf
