Tools to manage large BibTex libraries

Project description

CITeX is a set of tools for comparing and filtering very large reference databases.

Description

CITeX searches through BibTeX files to search and remove duplicate entries. It does this by comparing parsed titles strings and for simple cases, it then groups by similarities computes scores and selects the best single citation from that group of duplicates.

This project was a part of HealthHack 2016 in Canberra.
