A set of tools for processing a reference database composed of bib files.
The package is built around the bib file parser of aclements. Scripts are included for three common tasks: parsing downloaded bib files, searching the database, and creating project specific bibliographies. A csv file with journal name abbreviations has been included. This was manually created for journals I have referred to using the CAS Source Index (CASSI) Search Tool. To add an entry, enter the full journal name, a semicolon as a delimiter, and the abbreviated name.
The location of the directory that the bib file data base is located must first be specified.
This is done by changing the BIB_DIRECTORY variable in bibtools/bib.py.
Then run
python setup.py install --user
