wos2bib Version 0.5.4 Converts a Web of Science savedrecs.txt file into the BibTeX file format ------------------------------------------------------------ (c) 2003-2004 Ethan Gutmann Distributed under the GNU General Public License (see LICENSE) ------------------------------------------------------------ HOMEPAGE http://aster.colorado.edu/wos2bib email : gutmann@colorado.edu with bugs and feature requests. USAGE : wos2bib [outputfile] If the output file is not specified then output file will be .bib Data will be appended to the end of the output file if it already exists. CAVEATS : For now wos2bib only handles journal articles. It SHOULD gracefully continue when presented with a non-journal article (such as a book), but no guarantees. If you would like Books/tech-pubs/ or other citations added send me a web of science output file including an example, and ideally a bibtex entry for that format too. It also only processes the following fields : Title Author Year Journal name Volume Issue Pages Month Abstract Keywords If you would like other fields added please let me know. It SHOULD gracefully skip any other fields that happen to be in the file, but again, no guarantees If the Web of Science format changes this program will probably break (depending on how much they change it). VERSION HISTORY : 0.2 (2003) inital public release 0.3 (11/29/2003) Maarten Sneep added code to convert words to lowercase improve page number handling prevent printing blank fields improve handling of output line commas 0.4 (1/10/2004) Increased the size of abstracts to 32k 0.4.1 (2/6/2004) Fixed filename handling bug on Linux systems 0.4.2 Added check to make sure SU entries don't overwrite journal name (SO) 0.5 (3/25/2004) wos2bib no longer creates duplicate keys if you have two records by the same first author in one year! It now adds a, b, c... as appropriate to the end of the key. Convert author names, titles, journals, and keywords to lowercase (except the first letter in a word). This was added because Web of Science frequently seems to convert ALL letters to upper case. 0.5.1 (10/26/2004) Florian Marquardt added handling of AR field as page number in Physical Review journals I added code to read the month from the PD field 0.5.2 (11/10/2004) Stopped changing the case of words in the author field if they are shorter than 3 characters. 0.5.3 (11/10/2004) Stopped changing case if it appears that Web of Science did not screw the case up (i.e. they aren't all upper case). This preserves the case of Abbreviations if possible. 0.5.4 (5/12/2005) Hermann Schier provided a patch to include all Physical Review journals in the check for an AR field rather than just Physical Review Letters
