This script cleans up the journal names in a .bib file to match the
CASSI abbreviations.
Not all CASSI entries are included (please contribute more!); the majority
came from the
Core Journals
table.
The script will print a warning if an abbreviation was not found.
There are several user-specified variables within the script toward the top. These include:
cassi_csv: the name of the CSV with columns for Abbreviations, Publication Names, and CODEN. A path may be included!bib_in: the input BibTeX file. A path may be included!bib_out: the name of the BibTeX file to output. A path may be included!lower_list: a list of words intitlefields that should always be lowercaseupper_list: a list of words intitlefields that should always be uppercaseignore_list: a list of words intitlefields that should retain their capitalizationbib_write_order: a list specifying the order of fields written within a BibTeX entry. Anything not specified is appended at the end alphabetically.marked_for_removal_bool: a boolean operator for whether specific fields should not be included in the output BibTeX filemarked_for_removal: a list of fields that should not be included in the output BibTeX file. Ifmarked_for_removal_bool = True, this variable must be created!remove_comments: a boolean operator for whether to include comments in the output BibTeX file. IfFalse, all comments will be in a block together at the top of the output.alpha_out: a boolean operator for whether to change the order of the entries to alphabetical by identifier (True) or leave them unsorted (False).
After modifying everything in the variable set-up, you can run the script!
