00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.381
So the first question,

00:00:01.382 --> 00:00:05.461
have you tried ivy-bibtex or bibtex-completion earlier

00:00:05.462 --> 00:00:06.524
and how it compares to eBib?

00:00:06.525 --> 00:00:09.941
Well, I would say that I use both.

00:00:09.942 --> 00:00:14.901
I don't think there is very much a comparison

00:00:14.902 --> 00:00:18.661
because for me, they're achieving different goals.

00:00:18.662 --> 00:00:24.501
When I want to just very quickly find the paper

00:00:24.502 --> 00:00:28.621
in the entirety of the literature,

00:00:28.622 --> 00:00:34.701
I can just go here and open ivy-bibtex and see it.

00:00:34.702 --> 00:00:36.661
Bibtex now needs to parse my bib files,

00:00:36.662 --> 00:00:38.781
so it may take a second.

00:00:38.782 --> 00:00:41.581
Yeah, so if I want to just search, I'll do this.

00:00:41.582 --> 00:00:46.461
If I want a bigger view, then I can open eBib,

00:00:46.462 --> 00:00:49.661
but I don't use eBib so much as a tool

00:00:49.662 --> 00:00:54.381
to find just one literature. I use it for other purposes.

00:00:54.382 --> 00:00:58.501
So I think they're not really mutually exclusive,

00:00:58.502 --> 00:01:00.941
like you can use both.

00:01:00.942 --> 00:01:04.641
And they don't think that the features that one provides

00:01:04.642 --> 00:01:08.821
are something that the other also provides.

00:01:08.822 --> 00:01:13.381
They're different kind of goals for me.

00:01:13.382 --> 00:01:15.341
Also, for the answers, is it OK

00:01:15.342 --> 00:01:20.741
if I don't write anything down and I can just write them

00:01:20.742 --> 00:01:23.741
After, when I have time, and I'll just talk.

00:01:23.742 --> 00:01:27.861
Yeah, that's OK. We'll transcribe all the answers later.

00:01:27.862 --> 00:01:32.541
So you can just go ahead and talk.

00:01:32.542 --> 00:01:34.301
And do you find showing abstract

00:01:34.302 --> 00:01:36.661
on your navigation panel helpful?

00:01:36.662 --> 00:01:38.461
I always delete the abstract info,

00:01:38.462 --> 00:01:40.421
and my bib files make things more concise.

00:01:40.422 --> 00:01:44.981
So for me, I think it is helpful to see the abstract.

00:01:44.982 --> 00:01:50.861
I think that if you're in a regular screen,

00:01:50.862 --> 00:01:52.941
you have the space to have that.

00:01:52.942 --> 00:01:57.421
And yeah, for example, if I go again here,

00:01:57.422 --> 00:02:00.021
it's kind of indeed a bit more,

00:02:00.022 --> 00:02:01.741
a bit longer than it can be.

00:02:01.742 --> 00:02:09.341
And also you find a bigger abstract somewhere.

00:02:09.342 --> 00:02:10.421
It may be more space,

00:02:10.422 --> 00:02:16.381
but like, for example, this, yeah, this is a big abstract.

00:02:16.382 --> 00:02:19.181
And for example, yeah, this takes a bit more space,

00:02:19.182 --> 00:02:23.021
but I find it easy because the only case

00:02:23.022 --> 00:02:25.901
where I'm actually looking at this panel

00:02:25.902 --> 00:02:30.581
and trying to see things is when I'm going to be either,

00:02:30.582 --> 00:02:33.861
is when I'm going to be trying to find something

00:02:33.862 --> 00:02:37.141
that I don't remember the title to search immediately.

00:02:37.142 --> 00:02:38.581
And if you don't remember the title

00:02:38.582 --> 00:02:39.781
and you're trying to search,

00:02:39.782 --> 00:02:43.261
the abstract will be a way

00:02:43.262 --> 00:02:49.221
that helps you search better maybe.

00:02:49.222 --> 00:02:51.701
and also the other thing they use

00:02:51.702 --> 00:02:54.981
is also the small little descriptions

00:02:54.982 --> 00:02:59.261
I add in the note entries to help me

00:02:59.262 --> 00:03:03.381
but I think that the abstract is nice to be there

00:03:03.382 --> 00:03:05.141
in case you don't remember

00:03:05.142 --> 00:03:07.541
to find something from the title

00:03:07.542 --> 00:03:08.581
or from your notes

00:03:08.582 --> 00:03:10.581
and just need something more general.

00:03:10.582 --> 00:03:16.621
So yes it can be large and not always convenient,

00:03:16.622 --> 00:03:20.181
but I generally like it being there

00:03:20.182 --> 00:03:29.421
in case I need it for anything. Then the next question.

00:03:29.422 --> 00:03:34.381
Also, if any question is not fully answered by what I'm saying,

00:03:34.382 --> 00:03:36.941
feel free to add more to your question

00:03:36.942 --> 00:03:39.501
and we can discuss more. I don't have a problem.

00:03:39.502 --> 00:03:45.621
So for the next one, yeah, I copied this from IRC

00:03:45.622 --> 00:03:49.141
because I prefer to answer it orally

00:03:49.142 --> 00:03:53.261
because it's a bit longer than the others answering in IRC.

00:03:53.262 --> 00:03:55.261
So it seems that there's a meta problem here.

00:03:55.262 --> 00:03:57.621
There's too much information.

00:03:57.622 --> 00:04:02.221
And does this tool reduce the cognitive load?

00:04:02.222 --> 00:04:09.061
Well, for me, it does reduce the cognitive load because

00:04:09.062 --> 00:04:11.261
Indeed, there's a lot of information,

00:04:11.262 --> 00:04:18.661
but that's how managing literature works, essentially.

00:04:18.662 --> 00:04:21.061
It necessarily has to have a lot of cognitive load,

00:04:21.062 --> 00:04:22.981
because you are trying to

00:04:22.982 --> 00:04:25.021
process more information

00:04:25.022 --> 00:04:28.221
than your brain can process to begin with.

00:04:28.222 --> 00:04:31.301
So you really need a tool

00:04:31.302 --> 00:04:36.581
to help you not keep everything in your mind,

00:04:36.582 --> 00:04:40.461
process the information externally.

00:04:40.462 --> 00:04:44.181
They do think that the way I do this, for me at least,

00:04:44.182 --> 00:04:49.661
it does help with reducing cognitive load.

00:04:49.662 --> 00:04:51.061
Because I'm here, for example,

00:04:51.062 --> 00:04:55.221
if I'm looking for something, I do not remember,

00:04:55.222 --> 00:05:01.501
I've read most of these papers not too many months ago,

00:05:01.502 --> 00:05:02.701
so a lot of them are recent.

00:05:02.702 --> 00:05:06.181
If I don't look at what I have written for it,

00:05:06.182 --> 00:05:08.821
I do not remember anything.

00:05:08.822 --> 00:05:11.941
So indeed, you have this kind of cognitive load

00:05:11.942 --> 00:05:17.341
that I cannot remember everything.

00:05:17.342 --> 00:05:23.101
But on the other hand, I think the tool helps

00:05:23.102 --> 00:05:26.861
because my notes are what keeps, what I want to remember.

00:05:26.862 --> 00:05:30.981
So it doesn't stay in my mind, it stays in the text.

00:05:30.982 --> 00:05:35.221
And regarding things like the reading list,

00:05:35.222 --> 00:05:39.021
I think also for me reduces the cognitive load

00:05:39.022 --> 00:05:42.821
because I will mostly remember

00:05:42.822 --> 00:05:46.341
what the papers I have in that list are,

00:05:46.342 --> 00:05:50.901
but just sorting them by priority helps me

00:05:50.902 --> 00:05:54.621
Okay, this was the thing I wanted to do next.

00:05:54.622 --> 00:06:00.301
Oh, sorry. This is the thing I wanted to do next.

00:06:00.302 --> 00:06:02.501
And I didn't have to remember

00:06:02.502 --> 00:06:03.901
that this is what I want to do next.

00:06:03.902 --> 00:06:06.821
I just had it, I saw it there.

00:06:06.822 --> 00:06:11.261
So for me, it reduces cognitive load,

00:06:11.262 --> 00:06:16.981
but the problem of too much information is 100% there

00:06:16.982 --> 00:06:19.541
because there's objectively

00:06:19.542 --> 00:06:21.021
too much information

00:06:21.022 --> 00:06:23.181
when you're working with literature

00:06:23.182 --> 00:06:35.221
that's by nature and yeah essentially that

00:06:35.222 --> 00:06:36.381
that's for me the thing

00:06:36.382 --> 00:06:41.141
that i'm i'm just putting this information elsewhere

00:06:41.142 --> 00:06:44.941
so i don't have to keep it in my mind

00:06:44.942 --> 00:06:52.421
Okay, so when you download a new article,

00:06:52.422 --> 00:06:54.941
how do you integrate the file to the database?

00:06:54.942 --> 00:06:58.261
So, for example, do you remove

00:06:58.262 --> 00:06:59.741
and rename the file manually?

00:06:59.742 --> 00:07:11.781
So, for me, I also briefly showed that in the talk,

00:07:11.782 --> 00:07:13.781
but I did that very quickly,

00:07:13.782 --> 00:07:16.581
so it's understandable that it wasn't there.

00:07:16.582 --> 00:07:21.501
Essentially, And when I download the article,

00:07:21.502 --> 00:07:27.421
then I will open Ivy Bib Tech and find the article.

00:07:27.422 --> 00:07:31.581
For example, this one is the first.

00:07:31.582 --> 00:07:34.941
You can open the menu in Ivy Bib Tech.

00:07:34.942 --> 00:07:40.061
It's with an alt O, and then it will give you this menu.

00:07:40.062 --> 00:07:44.261
And from here, it will say, add PDF to library.

00:07:44.262 --> 00:07:47.261
And then it will ask from where do you want to add it?

00:07:47.262 --> 00:07:49.941
I don't recommend the URL

00:07:49.942 --> 00:07:53.701
because it doesn't download it properly sometimes.

00:07:53.702 --> 00:07:56.981
As I also mentioned that with Zotra,

00:07:56.982 --> 00:08:00.301
the URLs downloading things,

00:08:00.302 --> 00:08:02.141
especially with academic papers

00:08:02.142 --> 00:08:05.341
that are sometimes paywalled, it doesn't want to work well.

00:08:05.342 --> 00:08:07.781
So I will download the paper

00:08:07.782 --> 00:08:10.981
and then you can just press the F here for file.

00:08:10.982 --> 00:08:13.421
And then you find the file.

00:08:13.422 --> 00:08:20.861
and for example for me all my PDFs are in this folder

00:08:20.862 --> 00:08:23.181
it's still named Zotero PDFs

00:08:23.182 --> 00:08:25.621
from when it was Zotero saving them now

00:08:25.622 --> 00:08:28.341
Zotero no longer saves them

00:08:28.342 --> 00:08:30.381
but I'm too bored to change the name

00:08:30.382 --> 00:08:33.501
and then you just find the paper you want

00:08:33.502 --> 00:08:37.261
so you can see there is an endless list of papers here

00:08:37.262 --> 00:08:42.821
and it then will automatically rename it

00:08:42.822 --> 00:08:56.781
to have the title of the author, a small title and a date.

00:08:56.782 --> 00:09:01.821
I believe the naming is also configurable,

00:09:01.822 --> 00:09:08.941
but I have this notation in my config for many years now

00:09:08.942 --> 00:09:11.181
because that's how everything

00:09:11.182 --> 00:09:17.981
expects to find it, essentially. I do not then move it.

00:09:17.982 --> 00:09:19.341
It's stored in that folder.

00:09:19.342 --> 00:09:22.501
I store all my PDFs in that specific folder.

00:09:22.502 --> 00:09:27.541
And then Emacs knows that all PDFs

00:09:27.542 --> 00:09:29.021
should be found in that folder.

00:09:29.022 --> 00:09:32.581
And it then just looks for the name

00:09:32.582 --> 00:09:33.981
that it expects to find.

00:09:33.982 --> 00:09:38.221
And ivy-bibtex has renamed it automatically to that.

00:09:38.222 --> 00:09:54.381
Okay, I'll wait a bit to continue with that

00:09:54.382 --> 00:09:59.801
for moving to the next question.

00:09:59.802 --> 00:10:02.301
Yeah, ivy-bibtex has that functionality.

00:10:02.302 --> 00:10:08.061
And then annotations with e-readers.

00:10:08.062 --> 00:10:12.781
Viewing and taking an Emacs or Reader touchscreen,

00:10:12.782 --> 00:10:16.501
highlighting notes, noter, think would be an alternative,

00:10:16.502 --> 00:10:18.301
e-book annotation alternative.

00:10:18.302 --> 00:10:25.981
So, I do not use an e-reader, personally.

00:10:25.982 --> 00:10:29.781
The only thing that I have is my tablet,

00:10:29.782 --> 00:10:34.981
I can actually show you. It's this little thing here.

00:10:34.982 --> 00:10:39.661
It's a Chromebook.

00:10:39.662 --> 00:10:42.381
And the reason it's a Chromebook is that

00:10:42.382 --> 00:10:44.621
when I bought it a few years ago,

00:10:44.622 --> 00:10:48.541
it was the most viable alternative I could find

00:10:48.542 --> 00:10:52.301
that can run Linux as a tablet with good touchscreen.

00:10:52.302 --> 00:10:55.021
That was also a bit budget

00:10:55.022 --> 00:10:57.821
because there are some Linux tablets,

00:10:57.822 --> 00:11:00.301
but they were a bit too high cost

00:11:00.302 --> 00:11:02.181
for what I was looking back then.

00:11:02.182 --> 00:11:07.501
And this thing runs Linux essentially

00:11:07.502 --> 00:11:10.421
natively from the Chromebook.

00:11:10.422 --> 00:11:14.581
And I've installed Emacs there. It has all my config.

00:11:14.582 --> 00:11:21.741
And so if I want to take touchscreen notes, I do it there.

00:11:21.742 --> 00:11:27.181
But again, that is in Emacs. And it's mostly with PDFs.

00:11:27.182 --> 00:11:31.181
I'm not sure if it answers exactly the question.

00:11:31.182 --> 00:11:35.221
So if it's an e-reader, if it's, for example, a book,

00:11:35.222 --> 00:11:39.661
I know that if you have an EPUB,

00:11:39.662 --> 00:11:42.221
I think it's called the format for books,

00:11:42.222 --> 00:11:44.701
and Org-noter can also read that.

00:11:44.702 --> 00:11:49.741
So you could also open that file inside Emacs

00:11:49.742 --> 00:11:51.541
using Org-noter and take notes.

00:11:51.542 --> 00:12:02.941
But otherwise, If you're not

00:12:02.942 --> 00:12:06.901
reading everything in Emacs,

00:12:06.902 --> 00:12:09.021
then it's hard to pass annotations

00:12:09.022 --> 00:12:11.581
from outside Emacs to inside it,

00:12:11.582 --> 00:12:15.461
because of course you have less interoperability in that case.

00:12:15.462 --> 00:12:22.621
but I think Emacs is featureful enough

00:12:22.622 --> 00:12:25.621
to where you can do all your reading inside it.

00:12:25.622 --> 00:12:30.141
And Org-noter has a surprising amount of different formats

00:12:30.142 --> 00:12:31.621
where you can read things actually.

00:12:31.622 --> 00:12:40.141
I hope it was clear if you want more on that

00:12:40.142 --> 00:12:45.901
because I know it's a bit more a complex question, I guess,

00:12:45.902 --> 00:12:47.701
also with e-readers.

00:12:47.702 --> 00:12:52.061
And if it is in Emacs or not, feel free to add more.

00:12:52.062 --> 00:12:56.901
And how old do you feel

00:12:56.902 --> 00:13:00.461
about making notes on websites, PDF, videos?

00:13:00.462 --> 00:13:05.741
So I will agree with the other question

00:13:05.742 --> 00:13:07.621
that I answered here.

00:13:07.622 --> 00:13:11.301
If you can convert something to PDF,

00:13:11.302 --> 00:13:13.621
I prefer it because then

00:13:13.622 --> 00:13:16.741
you need to only worry about PDFs

00:13:16.742 --> 00:13:19.941
and it works better that way

00:13:19.942 --> 00:13:21.981
than having to annotate websites.

00:13:21.982 --> 00:13:26.181
There is, I believe, I should have it

00:13:26.182 --> 00:13:27.661
in my bookmarks somewhere.

00:13:27.662 --> 00:13:32.381
There is a, the org-roam protocol

00:13:32.382 --> 00:13:36.621
that allows you to take notes directly out of a website

00:13:36.622 --> 00:13:39.421
and it saves all the metadata of the website.

00:13:39.422 --> 00:13:42.941
I did look at it at some point,

00:13:42.942 --> 00:13:47.781
but I haven't really continued using it too much

00:13:47.782 --> 00:13:53.541
because I find that I don't often take notes

00:13:53.542 --> 00:14:00.221
from a website where I want the and more information

00:14:00.222 --> 00:14:02.421
than just either the link of the website

00:14:02.422 --> 00:14:05.741
or if I want the full text converting into a PDF.

00:14:05.742 --> 00:14:07.261
So I haven't really found

00:14:07.262 --> 00:14:08.541
a very big use case for it,

00:14:08.542 --> 00:14:11.301
but I know that Org-Roam protocol is a thing.

00:14:11.302 --> 00:14:16.701
And then for videos is a bit of a longer story

00:14:16.702 --> 00:14:19.901
because if you want to take notes on videos,

00:14:19.902 --> 00:14:21.541
that's a bit more complex.

00:14:21.542 --> 00:14:28.181
And I don't know of a way to do it in Emacs,

00:14:28.182 --> 00:14:30.941
but I also don't know of an effective way

00:14:30.942 --> 00:14:34.421
to take notes on videos using other tools.

00:14:34.422 --> 00:14:39.901
What I typically do if I'm following the video or something

00:14:39.902 --> 00:14:44.461
is that I will take notes of the more important things.

00:14:44.462 --> 00:14:50.581
I'll take notes of the more important things

00:14:50.582 --> 00:14:52.381
that I was listening in the video.

00:14:52.382 --> 00:14:55.101
And while I'm listening, I will take

00:14:55.102 --> 00:14:57.581
some ideal crude notes,

00:14:57.582 --> 00:15:00.901
not because I don't want to lose

00:15:00.902 --> 00:15:03.981
a lot of my attention during the,

00:15:03.982 --> 00:15:09.781
what I'm trying to learn by taking very good notes.

00:15:09.782 --> 00:15:11.141
So most of the time,

00:15:11.142 --> 00:15:13.741
those kinds of notes will be in paper,

00:15:13.742 --> 00:15:16.181
even just very simple, crude notes.

00:15:16.182 --> 00:15:20.381
And then without any timestamps or anything,

00:15:20.382 --> 00:15:23.941
because that's too complex for what I've done.

00:15:23.942 --> 00:15:28.501
And after watching, I will try to

00:15:28.502 --> 00:15:31.421
consolidate all my thoughts that I wrote down

00:15:31.422 --> 00:15:36.061
into some more permanent notes using Org Roam.

00:15:36.062 --> 00:15:46.181
And then like move on with that also look online

00:15:46.182 --> 00:15:50.421
if I noted that I want to look more on on this subject

00:15:50.422 --> 00:15:52.821
that was mentioned the video

00:15:52.822 --> 00:15:53.821
and I didn't fully understand it

00:15:53.822 --> 00:15:57.381
then I will try and look more and things like that

00:15:57.382 --> 00:16:02.981
so for me that's how I do it because I think that

00:16:02.982 --> 00:16:05.661
Annotating a video directly with timestamps

00:16:05.662 --> 00:16:07.821
and everything is a bit too complex.

00:16:07.822 --> 00:16:09.501
I don't know if you have

00:16:09.502 --> 00:16:12.061
any suggestions for working with that,

00:16:12.062 --> 00:16:19.381
but for me, it has been very troublesome.

00:16:19.382 --> 00:16:22.341
And then how do you add a new article from scratch,

00:16:22.342 --> 00:16:25.301
a PDF that you did not have in your bib file?

00:16:25.302 --> 00:16:29.661
How do you generate the bib entry metadata and abstract?

00:16:29.662 --> 00:16:36.941
So yeah, the package is called Zotra.

00:16:36.942 --> 00:16:44.061
I can also show it again. Let's find something.

00:16:44.062 --> 00:16:49.861
and can open up. Let's not do that.

00:16:49.862 --> 00:16:53.981
If I open it, I need to access it through my institution.

00:16:53.982 --> 00:16:57.621
So I will not open the link, but I can show you essentially

00:16:57.622 --> 00:17:02.101
you run Zotra add entry, this function,

00:17:02.102 --> 00:17:10.421
and it copies what you have currently in your, in your,

00:17:10.422 --> 00:17:12.461
what you have already copied right now

00:17:12.462 --> 00:17:15.861
it's the message I copied before for the Q&A

00:17:15.862 --> 00:17:21.861
but if you open a paper and have the URL copied

00:17:21.862 --> 00:17:26.341
it will immediately come here and will save everything

00:17:26.342 --> 00:17:28.621
and also as I mentioned there's the

00:17:28.622 --> 00:17:31.301
you can also download the patches from there

00:17:31.302 --> 00:17:34.381
but with paywalled articles doesn't always work well

00:17:34.382 --> 00:17:40.261
so I just do it manually

00:17:40.262 --> 00:17:45.821
Oh, system is running low on power. Give me just a second.

00:17:45.822 --> 00:17:59.021
So the computer doesn't turn off as we're speaking. Yes.

00:17:59.022 --> 00:18:03.541
So yeah, the, everything is added from scratch.

00:18:03.542 --> 00:18:14.541
Essentially you copy the URL and give it to Soletrend.

00:18:14.542 --> 00:18:17.381
It does everything. uh when you fact check every details

00:18:17.382 --> 00:18:26.261
for a bib entry your open names published journal

00:18:26.262 --> 00:18:29.461
doi stuff uh so i i generally don't do that

00:18:29.462 --> 00:18:30.861
oh yeah thanks for the person

00:18:30.862 --> 00:18:35.101
that added the link to the zocha

00:18:35.102 --> 00:18:38.381
i i wouldn't say that i fact check the details

00:18:38.382 --> 00:18:40.901
i assume that When they're added,

00:18:40.902 --> 00:18:44.541
they're actually correct.

00:18:44.542 --> 00:18:49.741
Have you actually had trouble with a tool

00:18:49.742 --> 00:18:52.021
that automatically adds them to add them wrong?

00:18:52.022 --> 00:18:54.861
I'm curious. I haven't really heard

00:18:54.862 --> 00:18:59.421
that happening too much.

00:18:59.422 --> 00:19:01.861
I've always thought that, yeah, if you do it manually,

00:19:01.862 --> 00:19:04.621
you need to fact check that you did it correctly.

00:19:04.622 --> 00:19:06.461
But I always assume that if you do it

00:19:06.462 --> 00:19:09.301
automatically through a tool,

00:19:09.302 --> 00:19:11.661
It should already be correct.

00:19:11.662 --> 00:19:15.101
And I don't remember ever having any trouble either

00:19:15.102 --> 00:19:20.221
when I was using Zotero before or now

00:19:20.222 --> 00:19:24.101
with the more Emacs based tools.

00:19:24.102 --> 00:19:29.781
I feel like the big entries are copied correctly.

00:19:29.782 --> 00:19:35.101
I haven't noticed this being incorrect.

00:19:35.102 --> 00:19:40.181
But I'm curious, do you have any point

00:19:40.182 --> 00:19:44.661
On that, I will keep in mind.

00:19:44.662 --> 00:19:48.541
Sometimes, DOI records are not exactly correct.

00:19:48.542 --> 00:19:52.861
For example, they can contain some very strange symbols.

00:19:52.862 --> 00:20:01.901
So that can happen sometimes. OK. Yeah. I don't know.

00:20:01.902 --> 00:20:05.741
I guess then if you want to fact check,

00:20:05.742 --> 00:20:12.141
it's probably the best to do it directly as it is added,

00:20:12.142 --> 00:20:14.901
like it's added, for example, here,

00:20:14.902 --> 00:20:17.941
and you can just directly, when you add it,

00:20:17.942 --> 00:20:23.501
find it and say, is everything correct here?

00:20:23.502 --> 00:20:27.661
Because I think that if you leave it for later,

00:20:27.662 --> 00:20:31.381
it will be much more of a mess.

00:20:31.382 --> 00:20:33.181
So for checking, I would just do it directly

00:20:33.182 --> 00:20:47.261
after I add it to the bit file.

00:20:47.262 --> 00:20:50.621
And let me see, is there anything else?

00:20:50.622 --> 00:20:53.501
I think one common way it can fail

00:20:53.502 --> 00:20:56.381
is when the metadata includes

00:20:56.382 --> 00:20:59.581
HTML tags for math, for example.

00:20:59.582 --> 00:21:03.501
And in some papers, for some journals, it can happen.

00:21:03.502 --> 00:21:05.061
So then you can imagine what happens

00:21:05.062 --> 00:21:06.981
when you try to put that citation

00:21:06.982 --> 00:21:08.741
into your references.

00:21:08.742 --> 00:21:12.421
That's going to be a mess.

00:21:12.422 --> 00:21:17.501
Yeah, okay. I didn't know, to be honest, so yeah.

00:21:17.502 --> 00:21:27.101
Thanks for the information.

00:21:27.102 --> 00:21:29.501
I think our graph has automatic cleaning

00:21:29.502 --> 00:21:30.421
of certain things

00:21:30.422 --> 00:21:34.741
for common errors in the metadata.

00:21:34.742 --> 00:21:37.221
How did you call that?

00:21:37.222 --> 00:21:38.381
I can note it down also here for the discussion.

00:21:38.382 --> 00:21:45.861
Oh, our graph. Or graph. Or graph. Yeah.

00:21:45.862 --> 00:22:12.261
Okay. Okay. I will put it down the pad.

00:22:12.262 --> 00:22:14.141
And I think the next talk,

00:22:14.142 --> 00:22:18.461
the live will move in the next minute anyways.

00:22:18.462 --> 00:22:22.141
And I see we're done with all the questions.

00:22:22.142 --> 00:22:26.141
So thank you everyone. I hope this was interesting.

00:22:26.142 --> 00:22:28.501
Thank you for giving me a lot of questions

00:22:28.502 --> 00:22:31.461
so we had to discuss for the whole time

00:22:31.462 --> 00:22:34.541
and we weren't just here sitting.

00:22:34.542 --> 00:22:36.182
And enjoy the rest of EmacsConf.
