Another useful tool for LaTeX writing is extracting the abstract: http://tool.duruofei.com/abstract, whose source code is added as a submodule here.

Known issues:

• It assumes the first line of each bibtex item contains its bib ID. This is typically true if the bibtex item is from Google Scholar or DBLP

Run

First, edit config.ini and modify your list of input bib files. For example:

inputFileList       =   input.bib,test.bib

Next, run

python Dubibtex

The new bib file will be generated as output.bib by default.

Dependencies

• Python 3.6
