Bibliography files are notoriously hard to work with. Betterbib contains
a number of easy-to-use command-line tools to help.
- [`betterbib convert`](#convert) converts between different bibliography formats, e.g.
- [BibTeX](https://www.bibtex.org/Format/)
- [BibLaTeX](https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex)
- [RIS](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIS_(file_format)>)
- [CSL-JSON](https://citeproc-js.readthedocs.io/en/latest/csl-json/markup.html)
- [`betterbib sync`](#sync) syncs bibliography data with a number of online sources, e.g.,
- [Crossref](https://www.crossref.org/)
- [DBLP](https://dblp.uni-trier.de/)
- [PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)
- [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/)
- [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/)
- [`betterbib format`](#format) formats your bibliography files to your liking. Can also
(un)abbreviate author and journal names.
- [`betterbib doi-to`](#dereference-dois) converts a DOI or DOI URL to a bibliography entry.
### Installation
Install betterbib [from PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/betterbib/) with
<!--pytest.mark.skip-->
```
pip install betterbib
```
See [here](https://github.com/texworld) for licensing information.
#### Convert
#### Sync
Simply run
<!--pytest.mark.skip-->
```sh
betterbib sync in.bib
```
to sync your bibliography file with online sources. For example, the input
```bibtex
@article{wiles,
title={Fermat Last Theorem},
doi={10.2307/2118559},
}
```
is converted to
```bibtex
@article{wiles,
number = {3},
doi = {10.2307/2118559},
pages = {443},
source = {Crossref},
volume = {141},
author = {Wiles, Andrew},
year = {1995},
month = may,
url = {https://doi.org/10.2307/2118559},
issn = {0003-486X},
journal = {The Annals of Mathematics},
publisher = {JSTOR},
title = {Modular Elliptic Curves and Fermat's Last Theorem},
}
```
See `-h`/`--help` for all options.
<!--pytest.mark.skipif(sys.version_info < (3, 11), reason="Need Python 3.11+")-->
```sh
betterbib sync -h
```
<!--pytest-codeblocks: expected-output-ignore-whitespace-->
```
Usage: betterbib sync [-h] [-i] [-c N] [-m MINIMUM_SCORE] [-q] [--debug] infiles [infiles ...]
Positional Arguments:
infiles input bibliography files
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i, --in-place modify infile in place
-c, --num-concurrent-requests N
number of concurrent HTTPS requests (default: 5)
-m, --minimum-score MINIMUM_SCORE
minimum score to count as a match (default: 0.0)
-q, --quiet don't show progress info (default: show)
--debug some debug output (default: false)
```
#### Format
After that, you can for example run
```
betterbib format in.bib --sort-fields --align-values --journal-names short --abbrev-first-names
```
to get
```bibtex
@article{wiles,
author = {Wiles, A.},
doi = {10.2307/2118559},
issn = {0003-486X},
journal = {Ann. Math.},
month = may,
number = {3},
pages = {443},
publisher = {JSTOR},
source = {Crossref},
title = {Modular Elliptic Curves and Fermat's Last Theorem},
url = {https://doi.org/10.2307/2118559},
volume = {141},
year = {1995},
}
```
```sh
betterbib format -h
```
<!--pytest.mark.skipif(sys.version_info < (3, 11), reason="Need Python 3.11+")-->
```
Usage: betterbib format [-h] [-i] [--drop DROP] [--journal-names {long,short,unchanged}] [--abbrev-first-names]
[--sort-entries] [--sort-fields] [--doi-url-type {unchanged,old,new,short}]
[--page-range-separator PAGE_RANGE_SEPARATOR] [--protect-title-capitalization]
[--indent [INDENT]] [--align-values]
infiles [infiles ...]
Positional Arguments:
infiles input BibTeX files
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i, --in-place modify infile in place
--drop DROP drop fields from entries (can be passed multiple times)
--journal-names {long,short,unchanged}
force full or abbreviated journal names (default: unchanged)
--abbrev-first-names abbreviate first names in author lists etc. (default: false)
--sort-entries sort entries alphabetically by BibTeX key (default: false)
--sort-fields sort fields alphabetically (default: false)
--doi-url-type {unchanged,old,new,short}
DOI URL (new: https://doi.org/<DOI>, short: https://doi.org/abcde) (default: new)
--page-range-separator PAGE_RANGE_SEPARATOR
page range separator (int or string, default: unchanged)
--protect-title-capitalization
brace-protect names in titles (e.g., {Newton}; default: false)
--indent [INDENT] indentation (int or string; default: 1)
--align-values align field values (default: false)
```
#### Dereference DOIs
Given a DOI or a DOI URL, it's often useful to generate a bibliography entry for it. `betterbib doi-to` does just that.
```sh
betterbib doi-to ris 10.1002/andp.19053221004
```
<!--pytest-codeblocks: expected-output-ignore-whitespace-->
