Managing my own papers

Post by TracUNSW »

Wondering if anyone has a good system for looking after their own papers. Currently I just have a big dumb list in a .tex file.

My plan is to convert each to a bibtex entry and then have a .tex document which just lists them. But I will also have the papers that have been submitted and not published yet, un-reviewed conference papers and sometimes I might just want a file of published journal papers and nothing else.

The only way around this I can think of is to have separate .tex files, e.g. journals.tex, submitted.tex and everytime I add something to the .bib file I add to the relevant .tex file. But that seems clunky.

Any better ideas appreciated, thanks.

Hi, I'm not quite sure what you mean. You might want to have a look at JabRef.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

I'd like to easily generate lists of my papers, e.g. for grant applications. So they aren't referenced in a document, I'm just listing out the whole bibtex file. Hope that makes it clearer? Trac
