Option to generate bibtex from other sources DBPL about papermemory HOT 2 CLOSED

I've reordered preprint matching sources so that DBLP is last and therefore if you do see a DBLP citation there it means others have failed

(in #117 so next release)

from papermemory.

That's not really how it works. First of all, you should almost certainly not use an Arxiv preprint citation when a proper publication citation is available.

But more importantly, not all sources have the same data and I cannot guarantee a choice in citation sources. The way it currently works is it sequentially queries the sources (PapersWithCode, then Semantic Scholar, then DBLP, then GS) and the first one that has a publication match for the preprint displays the bibtex.

Having an option to choose sources would be a nightmare in UI because they all have varying latencies and you'd have to wait for all sources to respond before having your citation instead of getting it with the first to respond.

I'll keep your suggestion in mind though.

If you think it's a big deal, keep this issue open. If you think it's not, then you can close it.

In any case, thank you for taking the time to improve PaperMemory!
