Importing from BibTeX or Zotero
Many users will want to import a library from a bibtex file
that another program such as zotero
, mendeley
or
jabref
will have exported. These programs usually have a
field called FILE
or file
that points to a path
where the document file can be found.
To import such a library you can use a provided script originally
intended for zotero
which is, however, general enough to work
for other programs too.
To install this script you can install the project papis-zotero and follow the instructions therein to import a bibliography file into Papis.
You can also take a look at the zotero2papis project in order to see a different workflow and different implementation of a converter script. This blogpost explains the workflow using Papis with zotero and SyncThing.
