  > a new academic area

  Research papers and books then. I use Google Scholar for searching, and libgen / scihub for the stuff I can't get access to easily.

  > I inevitably lose track of papers.

  A tools I used in graduate school for keeping track of research papers (and books): Zotero (https://www.zotero.org/).

  > I'm curious if there are already tools out there to aggegate open access research by your own criteria (i.e. from specific sources only, prioritise by keyword)?

  University Libraries seem to do this; And to a lesser extent smaller libraries associated with communities. Some software that I know of that was related to how my library did things is EZproxy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EZproxy). It manages access to journals and databases, which is at least a part of how to address this point. Otherwise, I'm not aware of a service that does this; Though I will keep an eye on the thread just in case someone else has a good recommendation.

  FWIW, I've gotten in the habit of using Zotero (https://www.zotero.org/) with a browser extension to do this. If I read something that I think I might want to reference later, I just hit an extension button and it gets slurped into Zotero with a bunch of information indexed for retrieval later.

  Maybe try Zotero[1]. There are many addons which can do what you need.

• I wrote my bibliography manually (Dont ask why). How do I sort it by the first letter of each entry?

  And next time, you use a real literature management program like zotero (some university libraries offer classes, there is a r/zotero, etc) or jabref to create a proper bibtex file with the references. It is not that difficult, and keeps you sane (esp. if a paper has to be formatted for a different publisher). See e.g. learnlatex.

• Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2023)

  Zotero | Remote | Full-Time or Part-Time | https://www.zotero.org

  Zotero is an open-source project that develops software to help people collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share their research. Our software is recommended by most universities and used by millions of students, scholars, scientists, and researchers worldwide.

  We're looking for a JavaScript developer to work on Zotero "translators" — the pieces of code that let people click a button in their browser toolbar on any webpage and save high-quality metadata and files to their Zotero libraries. If you like web scraping, APIs, data formats, and exploring sites in the browser devtools, this would be up your alley. As a core Zotero developer, you'll also have the ability to work across Zotero's vast ecosystem and help shape the future of the project.

  This is an open-ended contract role that can scale up and down in hours based on availability and workload.
