  5. This script takes as input a BibTeX library exported from readcube/mekentosj Papers3 and outputs a BibTex library for Zotero to import.
  6. The script preserves your Papers citekeys, adds supplementary files from the Papers3 Library, removes duplicate links to PDFs and removes extraneous *.html and *.webarchive files that are often created by importing articles into Paper from a web browser.
  7.  
  8. __Instructions for use__:
  9.  
  10. * Make sure to have Better BibTeX pre-installed to Zotero if you want to preserve the Papers citekeys.
  11.  
  12. * Export your Papers3 library as a *.bib file.
  13. Export > BibTeX Library
  14. Make sure to set the “BibTex Record” option to “Complete”. This will cause papers to include the paths to the main PDF (or whatever) file in the *.bib export
  15.  
  16. * In this script, update the ‘papers_library’ and ‘bibtex_library’ variables with the paths to your Papers3 library and the BibTeX library that you just exported.
  17. e.g.
  18. bibtex_library = Path(“~/Desktop/full_library_export.bib") ### Path to Papers BibTex library export
  19. papers_library = Path(“~/Documents/user’s Library/Library.papers3") ### Path to Papers3 Library
  20.  
  21. * Run this script with python 3.5 or higher
  22.  
  23. * Import the 'zotero_import.bib’ file that gets generated with Zotero.
  24.  
  25. * Be sure to check the 'Import errors found:' file if Zotero generates one (if it exists, it will be in whatever folder you imported the library to; sort by title to find it).
  26.  
  27. __NOTE__:
  28. The Collections groupings are not preserved with this method. This is one way to manually get your Papers3 Collections into Zotero after following the above instructions:
  29.  
  30. * Export each collection as a BibTex library (“Export” set to “Selected Collection” and “BibTex Record” set to “Standard”). This will prevent any file paths from being included in the *.bib file.
  31.  
  32. * Import that *.bib file directly to Zotero with the option to “Place imported collections and items into new collection” selected.
  33.  
  34. * Then merge the duplicate records. That will give you a new collection with links to right papers from your Zotero library.
  35.  
  36. * In this strategy, you have to do that for each one of your Papers3 Collections. Not ideal but maybe tolerable.
