Update to convert non-latin characters to proper LaTeX. If you come across a reference that doesn't work let me know. I also removed the default citekey so that BibDesk can populate citekey with what style you've defined.

Just type "texcount " then start typing the name of the file you're searching for. The texcount keyword triggers a file filter so it will search for any *.tex files in the directories Alfred is allowed to index.

LaTeX Tools: tools for working with LaTeX files. Currently a word/figure/equation count workflow, and a diff workflow for comparing two LaTeX files in a compiled PDF. (follow Github link for further details and download link)

Mormon Channel: Stream Mormon Channel radio through iTunes (Mormon Channel, Music channel, or Canal Mormón). Allows you to use keyboard buttons (or Alfred keywords) to play/pause rather than navigating through a browser. (follow Github link for further details and download link)
-
LDS Scripture Search: find a verse(s) by reference or keyword, then copy to clipboard. (follow Github link for further details and download link)

Ah, thanks. I'll stay in this thread then and remove the new one I just created.

@dfay I've starting moved in the direction you suggested. I like your idea of going through BibDesk, but I was hoping to come up with a more generally useful solution for people who don't use BibDesk and I'm not sure I like opening BibDesk just to format a reference for the clipboard. I added a feature to optionally copy a formatted reference using the API through doi.org, but there are some limitations I'm still looking into (read more here). I'll continue to investigate. I also added an option to go directly the article's landing page.

Good suggestion. The API I'm using through doi.org actually has the ability to return formatted citations instead of bibtex, so I thought about including that functionality. However, to use it you have to know the exact name of the citation style and the although some were abbreviated many were ridiculous long (and it wasn't a feature I would use very often) so I left it out. I didn't think about accomplishing it through BibDesk. I'll look into it later this week.

Thanks, but actually I suggested that work around, because that is what I already do. It's not a big deal, there is of course nothing hard about opening a url, or even doing the proper encoding if necessary. I was just suggesting that perhaps allowing Open URL to be an output would make it a more useful option. As an admittedly trivial example, some people I send these workflows to are not necessarily comfortable with changing code and want to open in a non-default browser. The Open URL box is pretty easy for people to use because its a graphical way to change the browser. It's also clearer at a glance what the workflow is doing without opening the script. But again, no big deal, just a suggestion.

I've made more than one workflow where I wanted the ability to copy some text to the clipboard *or* open a URL in the browser (using an action modifier to trigger the URL case). In both cases, I start with a script filter, but what I want to copy to the clipboard is not the actual URL, but some different data. My script filter would like to send two pieces of information, and this is no problem to do just by concatenating them and adding a custom delimiter. The problem is that "Open URL" can only be an action and not an output. So because only one {query} is allowed, and "Open URL" has no parsing abilities (other than adding some static portions of the URL), I must past only the URL data through the query. This means that I cannot pass the rest of the data to the clipboard copy portion of the workflow. If only passing the URL, I'd basically need to duplicate the same code in the script filter. Of course it's not hard to write your own script to open a URL in the default browser (which is what I've done), but if "Open URL" could be an output (and not just an action) then it would actual be useful for these use cases. Example below is essentially what I'd prefer to do, instead I replace "Open URL" with a "Run Script" than handles the parsing and open URL functionality. I'd still need the "Run Script" anyway to parse the two-part query, but it could reuse the exact same script from the top "Run Script". Then I'd connect to "Open URL" on the far right if it was an output option.

AIAA Search: lookup American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) articles using any metadata and download the associated BibTeX entry or the actual PDF (AIAA subscription required for PDF). Note: I've folded this functionality into a more comprehensive workflow that already shared a lot of the same code. Going forward please use my Reference Importer workflow rather than this one.

Reference Importer: search for an article/book from a variety of sources and import the corresponding reference data (BibTex, PDF) into BibDesk, copy BibTeX to clipboard, go to the landing page for the article, or copy a formatted reference. Also supports reference lookup from a PDF file. (This workflow was formerly known as "Citation Search" and "AIAA Search") (follow link to GitHub for a more detailed README and download) Update 5/22/2013: added conversion of non-latin characters to proper LaTeX. also removed default cite-key so that BibDesk can populate citekey with user defined style. Update 5/28/2013: fix due to slight change of crossref.org API Update 12/4/2013: major update including improved parsing, getting PDFs in addition to BibTeX, Google Books, Google Scholar, reverse PDF lookup. more details in comments below and in README Update 12/6/2013: improvement to DOI parsing from PDF text Update 3/15/2014: minor fixes and improvements Update 4/2/2014: unicode fix Update 4/3/2014: another unicode fix, this one for google books
