NAME¶

bibzbladd.pl - add Zbl numbers to papers in a given bib file

SYNOPSIS¶

bibzbladd [-d] [-f] [-e 1|0] [-o output] [-p probability] [-v|-q] bib_file

OPTIONS¶

-d

Debug mode

-e

If 1 (default), add an empty zblnumber if a zbl 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 searching for Zbl numbers even if the entry already has one.

-o output

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

-p probability

Zbmath.org now outputs a probability of match. We disregard the matches with the probability lower than probability. The default is 0.9

-v

Verbose mode (the default). Add to the output the intermediate results of zbl search

-q

Quiet mode. Do not add to the output the intermediate results of zbl search.

DESCRIPTION¶

The script reads a BibTeX file. It checks whether the entries have Zbls. If not, it tries to find the numbers from Internet sites. The result is a BibTeX file with "zblnumber=..." fields added.

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

See the "bibdoiadd" script for more details on the processing.
