Handy for copying abstracts into citation manager

That's a cool script. I've been manually deleting pagebreaks after copying abstracts out of pdfs into my citation manager. Is was really a pain. But this rocks.
PS: as a professional, do you know an online citation manager where you can share records with others (except of refworks). Import from a citation manager should be an important feature.??

There's Citation Manager

at http://researcher.sfu.ca/index.php/cm -- it's open source.

Glad you like the line break remover.

Line break remover

It just says Page Not Found when I try to use this. Have you removed the page from your site?
