bibparse

Parse a BibTeX file to a cleaner version in which only the relevant fields are stored. Also, the names of authors are uniformly stored.

# Basic usage
bibparse INPUT.BIB [OUTPUT.BIB]

# Getting help
bibparse --help

Options

• --duplicate-authors

  Check if the same authors are stored differently in the input BibTeX file. bibparse will check which authors are converted to the same 'cleaned' author name. This option does not influence the result, but does provide information to manage the input BibTeX file.

• --check-keys

  Check citation keys for first author + year construction. The keys that are not matching this construction are printed to the screen (excluding @misc entries). This option does not influence the result, but does provide information to manage the input BibTeX file.

• --author-sep STR

  Set character to separate authors' initials. By default, the initials are not separated. For example, the default T.W.J.\ can converted to T.~W.~.J.\ using --author-sep="~".

Dependencies

bibparse depends on Python3 and its bibtexparser module. Install this Python3 module using:
