bibtidy

Welcome to bibtidy, a simply tool for simplifying the creation of your BibTeX files!

Welcome Stars

If you like this tool, don't forget to star it! Your support is my motivation to keep updating this tool.

Features

1. Finding: Search a keyword from DBLP and show all relevant BibTex entries in order.
2. Checking: Automatically fix incorrect and fill incomplete entries with reference to DBLP.

Requirements

Python 3.10.0 (Other versions are not tested. Welcome to test and report.)

Installation

pip3 install git+https://github.com/bajinsheng/bibtidy@main

Usage 1: Search for a paper

python3 -m bibtidy --keyword "How Good Are Query Optimizers"

The output will be:

@article{viktor2015how,
 author = {Viktor Leis and
Andrey Gubichev and
Atanas Mirchev and
Peter A. Boncz and
Alfons Kemper and
Thomas Neumann},
 bibsource = {dblp computer science bibliography, https://dblp.org},
 biburl = {https://dblp.org/rec/journals/pvldb/LeisGMBK015.bib},
 doi = {10.14778/2850583.2850594},
 journal = {Proc. {VLDB} Endow.},
 number = {3},
 pages = {204--215},
 timestamp = {Sat, 25 Apr 2020 01:00:00 +0200},
 title = {How Good Are Query Optimizers, Really?},
 url = {http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol9/p204-leis.pdf},
 volume = {9},
 year = {2015}
}

Usage 2: Check a BibTeX file

Suppose we have a file named "test.bib" with some BibTex entries from unknown sources:

@misc{ba2022efficient,
      title={Efficient Greybox Fuzzing to Detect Memory Errors}, 
      author={Jinsheng Ba and Gregory J. Duck and Abhik Roychoudhury},
      year={2022},
      eprint={2204.02773},
      archivePrefix={arXiv},
      primaryClass={cs.CR}
}

We can check and autofix it by running the following command:

python3 -m bibtidy --file "test.bib"

The output will be:

@inproceedings{ba2022efficient,
 author = {Jinsheng Ba and
Gregory J. Duck and
Abhik Roychoudhury},
 bibsource = {dblp computer science bibliography, https://dblp.org},
 biburl = {https://dblp.org/rec/conf/kbse/BaDR22.bib},
 booktitle = {37th {IEEE/ACM} International Conference on Automated Software Engineering,
{ASE} 2022, Rochester, MI, USA, October 10-14, 2022},
 doi = {10.1145/3551349.3561161},
 pages = {37:1--37:12},
 publisher = {{ACM}},
 timestamp = {Sun, 15 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0100},
 title = {Efficient Greybox Fuzzing to Detect Memory Errors},
