Papers 3 Universal CiteKey

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Papers 3 Universal CiteKey
Cody Wu (cody.wu@ualberta.ca)

Description:
Papers 3 utilizes what they call a "Universal CiteKey" generated from the DOI. This is replaced and formatted by the Papers 3 desktop app when you generate the bibliography. While this is fine on the desktop, the iOS Papers application does not generate the CiteKey in the same format making cross-platform work/collaboration exceptionally difficult. This workflow takes the full reference from Papers 3's "Copy Reference" export option and generates/inserts the Universal CiteKey.

Notes:
I recommend that you map the workflow to a keyboard shortcut to allow for easy insertion of references.
