I've noticed recently it sometimes does work with pdf links=0A=
but not always. In this case, =0A=
=0A=
https://adsabs.harvard.edu/pdf/1959MNRAS.119...81S=0A=
=0A=
there is a simple substitution to generate a useful link even though=0A=
the pdf has no machine readable info I could find.  It looks like TooBib=0A=
used a generic pdf->abs mutate guess not a dedicated Harvard=0A=
handler and then read the html as pdf using the kluged scraping logic.=0A=
Again, while Zoterro seems to sanitize bibtex TooBib includes as much=0A=
as possible. There are often multiple ways to get bibtex and some may=0A=
have different errors etc. At a minimum I've found having the original=0A=
link is helpful although sometimes its a huge made up string for single=0A=
use.  In most cases though its a good fulltext open access link such as=0A=
research gate that is not always obvious when you have to search for it as=
=0A=
a reader. =0A=
=0A=
I'd also note for all the brains in goog scholar and the goog AI stuff=0A=
I actually have to read a few papers and track down references=0A=
to find open access fundamental stuff :) =0A=
