any keyword you like already when adding documents, for instance
you can set the year `--set year 2018` or tags for organizing
`--set tags programming`,

::

papis add libc.pdf --set author "Sandra Loosemore" --set title "GNU C reference manual" --set year 2018 --set tags programming --confirm
# Get paper information automatically via de DOI
