Support of semantic scholar? #308

Open scfrank-pri opened 1 week ago

scfrank-pri commented 1 week ago

Ebib provides excellent support for crossref. Could this be extended to semantic scholar? Thanks for consideration.

What exactly would it be that Ebib should do? (I don't use Semantic Scholar...)

I was hoping for a command similar to biblio-crossref-lookup. This is not part ob ebib, but from the output generated by biblio I can import citations into ebib with e - very handy. Theres seems to be emacs support for importing bibliographic information from semantic scholar in this project, but I cannot judge it since I use ebib and not ref-man.

I agree it would be great to have support for Semantic Scholar, but it seems it would require some work. The biblio support was fairly easy, because it only had to connect biblio.el to Ebib, and biblio.el already comes with access points for external applications.

Something similar to biblio.el would have to be developed for Semantic Scholar. The ref-man project you point to would be a good place to start, but I suspect it's unlikely code from ref-man-ss.el can be used as-is.

I'd be happy to accept a PR, but I currently don't have the time to work on this myself, unfortunately.
