BibCollect - an automatic generator of BibTex databases
BibCollect is a free utility for the automatic download of BibTex
entries from various public databases. It searches for citations in
Latex files and automatically assembles an appropriate BibTex file.
Extending BibCollect to support new BibTex databases is
straightforward.
Usage
- Create an auxiliary file with Latex:
latex example.tex
- Use BibCollect to create the BibTex file:
bibcollect example
(BibCollect automatically calls BibTex to create the bibliography.)
- Rerun Latex twice:
latex example.tex
The citations have the form \cite{<database>:<id>}.
Supported databases
- citeseer - http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/
- citeulike - http://www.citeulike.org
- dblp - http://dblp.uni-trier.de/
- mathscinet - http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/
Installation
Edit the Makefile according to your needs and run "make install".
Requirements
To Do
- There should be a mechanism dealing with entries not found in a database.
- All programs should provide some information about their usage.
- Implement plugins for ISBN and DOI.
- Integrate xml2bib.pl in pubmed2bibtex.
