What this tool does

  • Imports references from Zotero, Mendeley, or any reference manager (BibTeX / RIS)
  • Fetches metadata automatically from CrossRef, OpenAlex & Unpaywall
  • Classifies publications with AI using controlled vocabulary
  • Submits records for David's review before publication

What to prepare

  • A BibTeX or RIS export from your reference manager, or
  • The DOI of the paper you want to submit, or
  • The bibliographic details (for old literature without a DOI)
  • The PDF file, if you have it — only upload files you have the right to share (open access papers or author manuscripts; not paywalled final versions)

What happens after submission

  • Your record is sent to David for review
  • David will contact you if anything needs to be corrected
  • Once approved, the record appears on the website
  • Review typically takes a few days

Known limitations

  • Preprints are not accepted — journal field is required
  • AI classification is a suggestion — always review carefully
  • Unpaywall may return an accepted manuscript, not the final version
  • For old literature, BHL and journal archives are your best sources
