I often get articles from the arxiv, which do not have metadata, but the contents coincides with the "published" version, so I can then use the metadata from mathscinet even if my library does not have access. However, I just found zotero + zotfile, which is a firefox plugin and does what I need. Although I love emacs, it's probably better to stick to something which is well-maintained. Best, Martin
