RE: PDF mapping programs... wow...

Good morning,

I've gotten crazy deep into this text analysis stuff.   Another PhD student I met is going through like 30,000 documents. . . too crazy for me.  But if you are still exploring this link and PDFs will help.  I've been testing Atlasti and it's really cool. . . but explore if you want:

Send to EndNote

This is wicked cool, as I can search and search through World of Knowledge, Engineering Village, ProQuest, and even Google, and each one gives me the option to export the citations directly to Endnotes.  The first three will allow me to export the complete search.  Then I can select all in Endnotes, Update all the References ((watch out it usually will change formats and add the publisher but it uses the DOI which can be wrong and you'll see a completely new article coming in to replace what you found = new authors, date and issue => SKIP this!)), and Download all the Text files.  I have found they are not always available. . . Another trick I did was for those "not found" I create a group of them in Endnotes, select all and <copy formatted> into Word.  You should have it set to APA, as you get that format, or which ever you choose.

Once in word I <save as> <htm>, then open it into a Firefox browser and select each title to search in Google Scholar.  Endnote seems to only connect to selected databases in the library while Google gets them all and a few others.  So often I can find all the PDFs faster this way!

Then Endnote 6x converts all the PDFs to "author-year-title" format, while 7x allows you to select the PDF file names
