Features
bibmanager
is a Python 3.7+ command-line based application to facilitate the management of BibTeX entries, allowing the user to:
Unify all BibTeX entries into a single database
Automate .bib file generation when compiling a LaTeX project
Automate duplicate detection and updates from arXiv to peer-reviewed
Clean up (remove duplicates, ADS update) any external bibfile (since version 1.1.2)
Keep a database of the entries’ PDFs and fetch PDFs from ADS (since version 1.2)
Browse interactively through the database (since version 1.3)
Keep track of the more relevant entries using custom-set tags (since version 1.4)
bibmanager
also simplifies many other BibTeX-related tasks:
Add or modify entries into the
bibmanager
database:Merging user’s .bib files
Manually adding or editing entries
Add entries from ADS bibcodes
entry adding via your default text editor
Query entries in the
bibmanager
database by author, year, or title keywordsGenerate .bib files built from your .tex files
Compile LaTeX projects with the
latex
orpdflatex
directivesPerform queries into ADS and add entries by bibcode
Fetch PDF files from ADS (via their bibcode, new since version 1.2)
Be Kind
If bibmanager
was useful for your research, please consider
acknowledging the effort of the developers of this project. Here’s a BibTeX
entry for that:
@MISC{Cubillos2020zndoBibmanager,
author = {{Cubillos}, Patricio E.},
title = "{bibmanager: A BibTeX manager for LaTeX projects, Zenodo, doi 10.5281/zenodo.2547042}",
year = 2020,
month = feb,
howpublished = {Zenodo},
eid = {10.5281/zenodo.2547042},
doi = {10.5281/zenodo.2547042},
publisher = {Zenodo},
url = {https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2547042},
adsurl = {https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020zndo...2547042C},
adsnote = {Provided by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System},
}
Note
Did you know that Aaron David Schneider built this totally amazing bibmanager graphic interface?
This extension lets you quickly browse through your database, retrieve metadata (title, date, tags), open in ADS or PDF (download if needed), or just copy things to the clipboard. I’ve tried it and I can only recommend to checking it out!
This is implemented via Raycast, which is available for Mac OS X users. To install Raycast and bibmanager extension check these simple instructions.
