{bibtex} 0.5.3 is on CRAN with better parsing of:
1. Comment lines
2. BibLaTeX dates and journaltitle
Fun fact: base R 4.6 uses {bibtex} for its new \bibshow help-page citations.

Do you like bibtex? Do you do doi? Do you want bibtex refs from doi on the command line? Yes you do, you wonderful monster. Try this line (adjust doi as needed, and see alt text for source too):
curl -LH "Accept: application/x-bibtex" doi.org/10.1002/evan...

You cannot let the AI touch anything citations related. It fucking sucks because I really hate dealing with bibtex and formatting it seems a natural use case but the hallucination risk is just too much

Here's a command that converts a DOI to bibtex:
editor says we should "turn on your brains" b/c some cites lack article numbers, says bibtex from a journal's website isn't good enough
umm the journal's bibtex IS the canonical citation
what persnickety fuckstick is wasting time manually adjusting what a journal thinks its own citation should be?

Many sites provide incorrect or incomplete BibTeX entries. I therefore just use the provided DOI and a small shell script to create the BibTeX from it from the definitive data retrieved from Crossref.

It seems straightforward to require a bibtex or endnote or Zotero file and automate existence checking. It's typically not a big burden on authors. And it would tend to curb things at the source.

Just checking, since apparently some are using LLMs to get BibTeX snippets easily.
For Computer Science and ML papers, you know about @dblp.org, right? You know you don't have to use LLMs for that... right?

Annual reminder that bibtex copied from Google Scholar are almost always wrong...
Author lists are so massive on some arXiv papers that one hallucinated reference could see half of high-energy physics in the sin bin.
wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

This now has LaTeX / BibTeX support, for the sickos like me who also write outside MS Word
Legal writers: I've posted to SSRN a short user's guide about how to use the Zotero citation manager and its Word plugin to automatically generate Bluebook citations that are 95%* compliant. The paper explains which fields to use for which type of source, and examples of generated citations.

every couple of months I think, maybe frontier LLMs are good enough now to generate my bibtex or at least clean it up. it is Feb 2026 and that is still not the case.
