NAME

       bibdoiadd.pl - add DOI numbers to papers in a given bib file

SYNOPSIS

       bibdoiadd [-c config_file] [-C 1|0] [-e 1|0] [-f] [-o output] bib_file

OPTIONS

       -c config_file
           Configuration file.  If this file is absent, some defaults are used.  See below for
           its format.

       -C 1|0
           Whether to canonize names in the output (1) or not (0).  By default, 1.

       -e  If 1 (default), add empty doi if a doi cannot be found.  This prevents repeated
           searches for the same entries if you add new entries to the file.  Calling "-e 0"
           suppresses this behavior.

       -f  Force checking doi number even if one is present

       -o output
           Output file.  If this option is not used, the name for the output file is formed by
           adding "_doi" to the input file

DESCRIPTION

       The script reads a BibTeX file.  It checks whether the entries have DOIs.  If not, it
       tries to contact http://www.crossref.org to get the corresponding DOI.  The result is a
       BibTeX file with the fields "doi=..." added.

       The name of the output file is either set by the -o option or is derived by adding the
       suffix "_doi" to the output file.

       There are two options for making queries with Crossref: free account and paid membership.
       In the first case you still must register with Crossref and are limited to a small number
       of queries, see the agreement at
       "http://www.crossref.org/01company/free_services_agreement.html".  In the second case you
       have a username and password, and can use them for automatic queries.  I am not sure
       whether the use of this script is allowed for the free account holders.  Anyway if you try
       to add DOI to a large number of entries, you should register as a paid member.

CONFIGURATION FILE

       The configuration file is mostly self-explanatory: it has comments (starting with "#") and
       assginments in the form

          $field = value ;

       The important parameters are $mode ('free' or 'paid'), $email (for free users) and
       $username & $password for paid members.

EXAMPLES

          bibdoiadd -c bibdoiadd.cfg -o - citations.bib > result.bib
          bibdoiadd -c bibdoiadd.cfg -o result.bib citations.bib
