| ====== Academic PDF Reader ====== | ====== Academic PDF Reader ====== | ||
| + | Write a PDF reader that is understanding Scientific papers / books formats and help one to recreate / improve the experience reading on paper. | ||
| - | FIXME Idea | + | * Summarized some ideas in a [[https:// |
| + | |||
| + | ===== Feature ideas ===== | ||
| + | - **Understand references** In Scientific texts (paper, books, theses), references are often collected at the back/ | ||
| + | - On mouse-over to the reference show the bibliographic information. Evince has a simpler replacement for this feature, that it shows part of the page where the link is going. | ||
| + | - If in library (e.g. Zotero) give a link to the item. | ||
| + | - Sidebar with all the references extracted from the bibliography, | ||
| + | - The reference if in the library could show a preview of the pages, often one just wants to remember oneself if one read the paper. | ||
| + | - **Working with figures/ | ||
| + | - On mouse-over of a link to a figure, show the figure with caption as a floating element. | ||
| + | - When going to the figure show a floating button to go back to where one comes from. Support a key (e.g. Backspace) to go back to where you come from. | ||
| + | - Extract figures plus Caption and show them in the sidebar, as many people only look at the figures and read the caption to " | ||
| + | - Find references in the text to the figure and offer links next to the figure to go to the location in text where the Figure is mentioned. | ||
| + | - Work with the **Metadata** of the publication | ||
| + | - Allow to search your library for other publications by some Author. E.g. in the sidebar that already shows the informations on the publication, | ||
| + | - Use the digital opportunities to work with the PDF. | ||
| + | - Collapse part of the document. Either by just being at one position and shrinking the area. Or by e.g. choosing only to show the areas of the PDF containing Figures. | ||
| + | - Automatically execute the Crossmark Service (when chosen by the user) | ||
| + | - Annotations | ||
| + | - In Comments it should be possible to reference other publications in the library. E.g. by the Bibtex Key or some other method. | ||
| + | - Comments should be attributable to Authors (like in the PDF Format already available) | ||
| + | - A service like Hypothesis or similar should be included. | ||
| + | - If a privacy preserving way can be found, it would be great to have something like in the Kindle. 50 readers have highlighted this area. | ||
| + | - Social Features | ||
| + | - Make it possible to share publications with other Zotero Users, even if they are not in a group library. E-mail is just to annoying to keep track of this. | ||
| + | - Share ones annotation with a colleague. | ||
