What does Citerus do?
Citerus retrieves your citations.
(How do I pronounce it? Like so: /saɪt.rəs/)
When writing cryptographic papers, authors often use the excellent cryptobib database. Since it consists of a large file, it is not often convenient to search in it. If you like the command line but you find grep awkward then citerus might be for you.
Example: Suppose you want to find relevant citations for round complexity in MPC, just:
- Type
citerus mpc round
in your terminal - Select all the papers that you find relevant (see screenshot). Exit the program.
Citerus will automatically copy in your clipboard the relevant LaTeX code to cite them. That's it!
To see more options and examples type citerus --help
.
Installing
pip install citerus
If you don't have pip, install it first with python -m ensurepip --upgrade
.
NB: currently citerus has been tested on macOS and GNU/Linux only. Feel free to try it on Windows too though.

Thanks to Mahak P. for coming up with the specific form of the citerus name.
