#2paperless-ngx https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/ can do most of this as well… except for the automatic metadata retrieval. i’ve been really impressed with paperless over the past few days as i’ve set it up and imported gobs of PDFs from an abandoned Evernote install. The web interface is quite well done.

Interface really looks nice! We also develop a similar project but for indexing personal videos and images[0] based on CLIP. It is a Flask based application behind a caddy proxy.

#4Interesting. However, if it can't handle creating citations for my research paper, I would need to stick with Zotero for managing and tracking the papers I care about. Ability to create and manage citations would be the killer app feature for many, I think.

#5Installing now to check this out for my large collection of PDFs. Thank you for the open source library.
Edit: Was hoping there was support for this feature, but after the long build / fetching of dependencies, a mandatory ask before I could even theoretically use this software would be bulk import of files / directories (ideally tree walking, but not necessary)
Also even for a single file upload, I was expecting the add form to at least be partially populated with scraped metadata, but that is not the case? Title / author / DOI is at possible. Title could even default to the file name but a lot of friction here otherwise.

I've been using a self hosted instance of I, Librarian. If it does find the DOI number in the PDF it will query a database to get the metadata. It does a pretty good job so long as the correct DOI number is somewhere in the PDF. You can also batch import PDFs.

Ok had to look this up and thanks to the generic name it took a bit. Here [0] the link for everyone who comes after me. It's a simple(?) php based webservice.

Thank you for the tip. Will check it out now (child comment linked directly)

#10That chicken paper always gets a chuckle from me. In case you have never seen the video[0]. Unfortunately, it appears to have been recorded on a potato. Do not miss the audience question at the end. Beautiful academic satire.
