Without DOI, ISBN, metadata of a lot of conference papers are hard to look up (e.g., NIPS, ICLR etc.). When I cite a publication in a draft paper, I need to manually search the publication information of it in Google Scholar or DBLP over and over again. -I'm a computer science PhD student. Conference papers are in major in my research community, which is different from other disciplines. Without DOI, ISBN, metadata of a lot of conference papers are hard to look up (e.g., NIPS, ICLR etc.). When I cite a publication in a draft paper, I need to manually search the publication information of it in Google Scholar or DBLP over and over again. - -**Why not Zotero, Mendely?** - -- A good metadata scraping capability is one of the core functions of a paper management tool. Unfortunately, no software in this world does this well, not even commercial software. - -- A modern UI. No extra useless features. - -What we need may be to: import a paper, scrape the metadata of it as accurately as possible, simply organise the library, and export it to BibTex when we are writing our papers. - -That is Paperlib. - - -## Highlights -- Scrape paper’s metadata with many scrapers. Support writing your metadata scrapers.

### Metadata Scrapers
+
My research topic is computer vision, which is only one piece of the puzzle of computer science. I tried to contact some friends to provide information about the paper metadata database in different disciplines. However, However, it does not cover all disciplines. If the [builtin metadata scrapers](https://github.com/Future-Scholars/paperlib/tree/master/app/repositories/scraper-repository/scrapers) are not suitable for your research, feel free to open an issue or a pull request.
