BibTeX Janitor

Cleans and standardizes BibTeX files for economics journal submissions (AER, QJE, etc.).

Usage

/clean-bib path/to/references.bib

What it does

Journal Names: Standardizes to full formal names (e.g., 'JPE' → 'Journal of Political Economy')

Title Casing: Applies Title Case and wraps acronyms in braces ({GDP}, {USA})

Field Pruning: Removes abstract, keywords, issn, file, mendeley-groups

URL/DOI: Keeps only for @techreport/@unpublished, removes from @article

NBER Format: Ensures @techreport with proper institution field

Validation: Checks for missing mandatory fields

Requirements

pip install bibtexparser

Implementation

Core Functions

load_bib(filepath): Load and parse BibTeX files using bibtexparser

save_bib(bib_db): Convert parsed database back to properly formatted BibTeX

apply_title_case(entry): Apply title case with special handling for acronyms and proper names

standardize_journal_names(entry): Map journal abbreviations to full formal names

prune_fields(entry): Remove metadata fields (abstract, keywords, file, etc.)

handle_url_doi(entry): Conditionally keep URLs only for @techreport/@unpublished types

ensure_nber_format(entry): Convert NBER papers to @techreport with proper institution field

validate_entry(entry): Check for required fields by entry type

clean_entry(entry): Orchestrate all cleaning operations on a single entry

clean_bib_file(filepath, in_place=False): Apply all cleaning to entire file

Supported Entry Types

@article: Journal papers (removes URLs, standardizes journal names)

@techreport: Working papers and technical reports (preserves URLs)

@book: Books (validates publisher field)

@inproceedings / @incollection: Conference papers (validates booktitle field)
