CSV to Bibtex for SpringerLink auto-generated references

A lightweight python-based tool to convert a SpringerLink auto-generated csv reference file to bibtex (.bib) format, increasing compatibility with reference management tools such as Mendeley and JabRef

Usage

Clone the git repository and save a csv of references auto-generated by SpringerLink into the 'csv_files' folder

Change directory into the csvToBibSpringerLink folder and install the requirements listed under requirements.txt by running the command pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the tool via the command line providing the input file path and output file path as arguments -i and -o respectively:

python3 springer_link_csv_to_bibtex.py -i "csv_files/example.csv" -o "bibtex_files/example.bib"
