Automatically generate and manage a BibTeX file

Project description

autobib

Automatically generate and manage a BibTeX file.

autobib will automatically fetch citation keys from online repositories that were added to the LaTeX document but not yet to the .bib file. The automatically fetched entries are added to the local .bib file for the next run. For this to work, the citation key has to be the Inspire key.

In essence, you still need to look up a citation online, but you don't have to add it twice, to your LaTeX document and to your .bib file. autobib does the latter for you.

Installation and usage

pip install autobib

This installs a new script called bibtex, which is a drop-in replacement of the original bibtex command. The same name is chosen to make it work automatically with tooling like latexmk, which is otherwise hard to achieve.

Make sure that the bibtex script installed by autobib is found first by shell lookup. The path where the script is located must come first in the search paths listed by PATH, before the original bibtex.

Planned features

  • Also fetch from adsabs
  • Smart-detect duplicates with some similarity metric, e.g. if the same paper is cited once using the adsabs key and once using the Inspire key
