This python package works with Quarto MarkDown files to allow authors to supply dois for references while writing a document. Tools in this utilities package provide the ability to automatically query https://doi.org to return valid BiBTeX entries from dois.
Further utilities allow users to supply a list of dois, look up the BiBTeX entries, and update them into a new or existing BiBTeX file.
Finally, this package allows authors to compose Quarto MarkDown documents (.qmd files) using tagged dois as references. From these, the code replaces such dois with valid BiBTeX references which are also downloaded into a .bib file.
The jupyter notebook in /qtils/examples/examples.ipynb includes example applications of all the functions in the package.
This code will work with python 3.7 and greater with requests and no other special packages needed (save for jupyter notebook to run the notebook example and pytest to evaluate the tests)
