PAPIS-BROWSE(1)

NAME
papis-browse - browse command

This command will try its best to find a source in the internet for the document at hand.

Of course if the document has an url key in its info file, it will use this url to open it in a browser. Also if it has a doc_url key, or a doi, it will try to compose urls out of these to open it.

If none of the above work, then it will try to use a search engine with the document's information (using the browse-query-format). You can select wich search engine you want to use using the search-engine setting.

It uses the configuration option browse-key to form an url according to which key is given in the document. You can bypass this option using the -k flag issuing the command.

papis browse -k doi einstein

This will form an url through the DOI of the document.

papis browse -k isbn

This will form an url through the ISBN of the document using isbnsearch.org.

papis browse -k ads

This will form an url using the gread ADS service and there you can check for similar papers, citations, references and much more. Please note that for this to work the document should have a DOI attached to it.

papis browse -k whatever

This will consider the key whatever of the document to be a valid url, I guess at this point you'll know what you're doing.

papis browse -k search-engine

This is the default, it will do a search-engine search with the data of your paper and hopefully you'll find it.
