BibURI

This is a gem to extract BibTeX information for URIs which refer to bibliographic resources, such as DOIs, Biodiversity Heritage Library links, and others.

Currently, BibURI supports the following types of data:

• DOIs (via CrossRef)
• Any web page containing one or more COinS spans.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'biburi'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install biburi

BibURI mainly works out of a single method:

require 'biburi'

entry = BibURI::lookup('doi:10.1038/171737a0')
# => [#<BibTeX::Entry identifiers = info:doi/http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/171737a0 http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/171737a0, journal = Nature, pages = 737--738, author = WATSON, J. D. and CRICK, F. H. C., date = 1953, year = 1953, title = Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, volume = 171, number = 4356, url = http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/171737a0, doi = 10.1038/171737a0>]
