A python library/command-line tool to quickly and automatically generate BibTeX data starting from the pdf file of a scientific publication.
Project description
pdf2bib
pdf2bib is a Python library to automatically extract bibliographic information from the .pdf file of a publication (or from a folder containing several .pdf files), and generate BibTeX entries. The pdf file can be either a paper published in a scientific journal (i.e. with a DOI associated to it), or an arxiv preprint. It uses the library pdf2doi to first find a valid identifier of the publication (i.e. either a DOI or an arxiv ID), and then uses this identifier to query public archives (e.g. http://dx.doi.org) to obtain bibliographic data.
pdf2bib can be used either from command line, or inside your python script or, only for Windows, directly from the right-click context menu of a pdf file or a folder.
