I will be citing about 15 to 20 few references in a couple of my upcoming project papers, and so I would like to keep a .bib file containing the usual citation information, along with short summaries (say maybe a couple of paragraphs long) of what that reference contains.
Is it possible to do this in Bibtex? I am a newbie to Bibtex, and I know only very basic bibtex enough to cite references. From what I gather so far, one hacky way would be to have a @Comment{}
block per-line, but that could get ugly very soon. Besides, I might want to later include these short summaries while citing a particular refernce, and so this solution would not apply.
I just started using kbibtex to start managing my references. Bonus brownie points if someone could also describe a way to describe how to add these short summaries or comments to a .bib file with kbibtex.
abstract
field ... Or into a field name you make up (it will be ignored by BibTeX and Biber if it is not known). Not sure if kBibTeX can write arbitrary field names though.
