• The auto-lookup result for IEEE conferences appears to be "conference paper" (PubMed lists as "journal"). NIPS conferences, for some reason, end up as "book". In my case, I don't really think it matters, as long as the right DOI/PMID are associated …

• The one thing that would be helpful - when I pull the items, I need to get all children to find out which ones are attached PDFs. Is there a way to avoid this?

• Success! 6 GB saved. I'm posting the code as a gist b/c I can't figure out how to edit these comments for code.

• Quick question. It looks like I can use the python API to iterate through my library, looking at the children of each item, which already have an md5sum calculated, I see, and then deleting one of them if it's a duplicate. Any quick feedback on whet…

• Big +1 from me. I began migrating from Mendeley and then discovered that my standard workflow of using PMIDs to update records that were incomplete, i.e., from pre-pubs (and also to pull in abstracts), didn't work. The normal process is that I read …

• Great to know! My main workflow issue at the moment actually has to do with duplicates. Ideally, I'd sync to the Pubmed data for every document that had a PMID, then automatically merge them. I realize this is already in the Extra data field, but si…
