Build Status

ref2bibtex

An (almost) single purpose gem wrapping Crossref's API. Pass it a full reference string, get back BibTeX. Pass it a DOI, get BibTeX. Want something more complex? See serrano.

usage

Be polite (https://github.com/CrossRef/rest-api-doc#etiquette). Provide a email as per CrossRef recommendations. Do this by:

  1. Add it to the file ~/.ref2bibtex_user_email.

  2. Add it to the file .env in the root of your application:

    REF2BIBTEX_USER_EMAIL=user@example.com

  3. Set REF2BIBTEX_USER_EMAIL in your shell profile.

If the email is set in multiple places priority is reverse order listed here.

Use citation2bibtex (aliased get):

 gem install ref2bibtex

 require 'ref2bibtex' 

 Ref2bibtex.get('Yoder, M. J., A. A. Valerio, A. Polaszek, L. Masner, and N. F. Johnson. 2009. Revision of Scelio pulchripennis - group species (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea, Platygastridae). ZooKeys 20:53-118.') # => "@article{Yoder_2009,\n\tdoi = {10.3897/zookeys.20.205},\n\turl = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.20.205},\n\tyear = 2009,\n\tmonth = {sep},\n\tpublisher = {Pensoft Publishers},\n\tvolume = {20},\n\tnumber = {0},\n\tauthor = {Matthew Yoder and Andrew Polaszek and Lubomir Masner and Norman Johnson and Alejandro Valerio},\n\ttitle = {Revision of Scelio pulchripennis - group species (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea, Platygastridae)},\n\tjournal = {{ZOOKEYS}}\n}"

If you want the doi:

   Ref2bibtex.get_doi('Yoder, M. J., A. A. Valerio, A. Polaszek, L. Masner, and N. F. Johnson. 2009. Revision of Scelio pulchripennis - group species (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea, Platygastridae). ZooKeys 20:53-118.') #  => "http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.20.205"

If you have the doi:

 Ref2bibtex.get_bibtex('http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.20.205') # => "@article{Yoder_2009,\n\tdoi = {10.3897/zookeys.20.205},\n\turl = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.20.205},\n\tyear = 2009,\n\tmonth = {sep},\n\tpublisher = {Pensoft Publishers},\n\tvolume = {20},\n\tnumber = {0},\n\tauthor = {Matthew Yoder and Andrew Polaszek and Lubomir Masner and Norman Johnson and Alejandro Valerio},\n\ttitle = {Revision of Scelio pulchripennis - group species (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea, Platygastridae)},\n\tjournal = {{ZOOKEYS}}\n}"

If you want a score:

  Ref2bibtex.get_score('E. Ven. 1337. Fake articles. Journal Get Scores. Hm:mm') # => 23.688715

Uses a cutoff against score, below cutoff returns false, set the cutoff:

  Ref2bibtex.cutoff            # => 50 
  Ref2bibtex.cutoff = 10       # => 10
  Ref2bibtex.reset_cutoff      # => 50

faq

What if there are multiple results?

The code is dumb, it takes the first. You could use the internals to get more results.
