Are you tired of using outdated arXiv citations in your academic papers? Do you find it tedious to manually enter the right citation format for conferences? Say hello to Rebiber, a powerful tool designed to automatically normalize your BibTeX citations with official conference information.

What is Rebiber?

Rebiber serves as your friendly assistant for transitioning from unofficial arXiv citations to officially published references. It utilizes data from trusted sources like the DBLP and the ACL Anthology to streamline the citation process, ensuring your references adhere to the latest standards.

How to Get Started with Rebiber

Setting up and using Rebiber is a straightforward process. Here’s how you can do it:

Installation

• Open your terminal.
• To install the stable version, use:

pip install rebiber -U

• For the latest development version, use:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/yuchenlin/rebiber.git#egg=rebiber -U

Using Rebiber

Once installed, you can normalize your BibTeX file by running the following command:

rebiber -i pathtoinput.bib -o pathtooutput.bib

In this command:

• -i specifies your input BibTeX file.
• -o determines the path for your output BibTeX file.

By default, if you do not specify the output file, it will overwrite the input file.

Understanding the Code with an Analogy

Think of normalizing your BibTeX citations with Rebiber as preparing a formal dinner party. In its initial state, you might have a mix of dishes (citations) that don’t quite complement each other, like having spaghetti next to sushi on the same table. Each dish may come with its own instructions, from where it originated to how it is served.

Rebiber acts as your dedicated chef who knows exactly which dishes work best together. It takes your eclectic mix (arXiv citations) and replaces them with a well-curated menu (officially published citations) that aligns with your dinner party theme (conference standards). The chef even ensures everything is presented flawlessly, ensuring that your guests (readers) leave impressed!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using Rebiber, here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Make sure you have the latest version of Rebiber installed with the command pip install -U rebiber.
• Check that your input BibTeX file path is correct and accessible.
• Ensure that your command syntax is accurate; even a tiny typo can cause it to fail.
