Replace arxiv links in markdowns by their corresponding bibliography.
Project description
A2B (Arxiv to Bibliography)
Replace arxiv links by their corresponding bibliography in markdowns. Inspired by Mu Li.
This repo provides a tool to replace arXiv links in markdown files with their corresponding bibliographic information. The script uses the Semantic Scholar API to retrieve information such as authors, title, journal, year, and citation count for a given arXiv paper.
Start from version 1.0.4 , we support creating bibliography from DOI links.
Installation
To install a2b
, make sure you have pip installed and run:
>> pip install a2b
Usage
The tool can be run from the command line. Either a link, a file or a directory can be taken as the argument.
Generate markdown from a single arxiv link or DOI
For example:
>> a2b --arxiv https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.08957
## __Optimization for deep learning: theory and algorithms.__ *Ruoyu Sun.* __ArXiv, 2019__ [(Arxiv)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.08957)
## [(S2)](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/c23173e93f1db79a422e2af881a40afb96b8cb92) (Citations __114__)
Here you can use the link of pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.08957.pdf
, instead of the link of arxiv page.
>> a2b --doi https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00133570
## __Snakes: Active contour models.__ *M. Kass et al.* __International Journal of Computer Vision, 2004__
## [(Link)](https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00133570) [(S2)](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/9394a5d5adcb626128b6a42c8810b9505a3c6487)
## (Citations __15860__)
One can simply provide the DOI 10.1007/BF00133570
without adding the hyperlink prefix to generate bibilography from DOI.
Replace arxiv links in a single markdown file
>> a2b path/to/markdown.md
Replace arxiv links in all markdown files within a directory
Run the following command to replace all arxiv links found in the given directory and its subdirectories.
>> a2b path/to/directory
To replace arxiv links in the markdown files ONLY within the directory (subdirectories excluded), use arguments --no-recursive
or -nr
:
>> a2b -nr path/to/directory
