Bibtexbrowser Ecosystem
The following uses bibtexbrowser under the hood:
* A pretty-printer and cleaner for Bibtex
* A custom citation style for bibtexbrowser adhering to the IEEE citations guidelines (on github)
* Generating publication lists in Latex using http://www.monperrus.net/martin/bibtex2latex
* Feeding a MySQL database from the content of a bibtex file
* Publication lists in Wordpress with wp-publications
* Publication lists with HAL and bibtexbrowser
Demo and screenshot
Demo: Here, you can browse a bibtex file dedicated to software metrics

Basic installation
Create a bib file with the publication records (e.g. csgroup2008.bib) and upload it to your server.* Use the link
bibtexbrowser.php?bib=csgroup2008.bib
(frameset based view)* Use the link
bibtexbrowser.php?bib=csgroup2008.bib&all
(pub list sorted by year)* Use the link
bibtexbrowser.php?bib=csgroup2008.bib&all&academic
(pub list sorted by publication type, then by year, see "Sectioning in academic mode" below)Warning: bibtexbrowser maintains a cached version of the parsed bibtex, for high performance, check that PHP can write in the working directory of PHP.
Handling mutliple bibtex files: If you want to include several bibtex files, just give bibtexbrowser the files separated by semi-columns e.g:
bibtexbrowser.php?bib=strings.bib;csgroup2008.bib
FAQ
How to embed Bibtexbrowser into a website?
To embed Bibtexbrowser into a website, you could use it as a library:<?php $_GET['library']=1; define('BIBTEXBROWSER_BIBTEX_LINKS',false); // no [bibtex] link by default require_once('bibtexbrowser.php'); global $db; $db = new BibDataBase(); $db->load('biblio.bib'); // printing all 2014 entries // can also be $query = array('year'=>'.*'); $query = array('year'=>'2014'); $entries=$db->multisearch($query); uasort($entries, 'compare_bib_entries'); foreach ($entries as $bibentry) { echo $bibentry->toHTML()."
"; } ?>
How to embed a publication list in an home page?
Sorted by year | Sorted by publication type | |
---|---|---|
For a group/team/lab |
<?php $_GET['bib']='csgroup2008.bib'; $_GET['all']=1; include( 'bibtexbrowser.php' ); ?> |
<?php $_GET['bib']='csgroup2008.bib'; $_GET['all']=1; $_GET['academic']=1; include( 'bibtexbrowser.php' ); ?> |
For an individual |
<?php $_GET['bib']='mybib.bib'; $_GET['author']='Martin Monperrus'; include( 'bibtexbrowser.php' ); ?> |
<?php $_GET['bib']='mybib.bib'; $_GET['author']='Martin Monperrus'; $_GET['academic']=1; include( 'bibtexbrowser.php' ); ?> |
define('USE_FIRST_THEN_LAST',true);
either to the php-query, or to bibtexbrowser.local.php
How to change the reference style?
By modifying the CSS
If bibtexbrowser.css exists, it is used, otherwise bibtexbrowser uses its own embedded CSS style (see function bibtexbrowserDefaultCSS). An example of CSS tailoring is:
.date { background-color: blue; } .btb-header { } .rheader { font-size: large } .bibref { padding:3px; padding-left:15px; vertical-align:top;} .bibtitle { font-weight:bold; } .bibbooktitle { font-style:italic; }
For instance, one can tweak the output by disabling the display of some headers and pieces of information.
.bibmenu {display:none} /* disables the [bibtex] and the like */ .bibanchor {display:none} /* disables the index [1] or [Name2010], etc. depending on the value of the configuration value ABBRV_TYPE and BIBTEXBROWSER_LAYOUT .theader {display:none} .sheader {display:none} /* disables the year header e.g., 2001 */
By setting your own style function
The bibliography style is encapsulated in a function. If you want to modify the bibliography style, you can copy the default style in a new file, say
bibtexbrowser-yourstyle.php
, and rename the function DefaultBibliographyStyle
in say MyFancyBibliographyStyle
.Then, add in the file
bibtexbrowser.local.php
:<?php function MyFancyBibliographyStyle(&$bibentry) { return $bibentry->getTitle().' ('.$bibentry->formattedAuthors(.')'; } define('BIBLIOGRAPHYSTYLE','MyFancyBibliographyStyle'); ?>
How to use the IEEE bibliographic style?
Create a file `bibtexbrowser.local.php`, in the same folder as `bibtexbrowser.php`, containing:
<?php // JanosBibliographyStyle is the IEEE contributed by Janos Tapolcai define('BIBLIOGRAPHYSTYLE','JanosBibliographyStyle'); ?>
See also another custom citation style for bibtexbrowser adhering to the IEEE citations guidelines (on github).
How to change the link style?
By default each bibliographic entry is followed by
[bibtex] [pdf] [doi], etc.
This can be tailored by configuring as follows (in the file
bibtexbrowser.local.php
)<?php define('BIBTEXBROWSER_LINK_STYLE','MyFancyBib2links'); function MyFancyBib2links(&$bibentry) { // bib is a special type of link. without the url argument or with an invalid image, it prints '[bibtex]' $result = $bibentry->getBibLink(); $result .= ' '.$bibentry->getLink('url'); // Google Scholar ID. empty string if no gsid field present $result .= ' '.$bibentry->getGSLink(); // returns an empty string if no doi field present $result .= ' '.$bibentry->getDoiLink(); return $result; } ?>
You can use your personalized function to add support for new fields in bibtex (
pdf
, file
, etc.). Check-out the documentation of functions getLink()
, getBibLink()
, getGSLink()
and getDoiLink()
: they accept an optional argument for providing an image/icon instead of printing text.// returns an empty string if no pdf field present $result .= $bibentry->getLink('pdf','http://url.to/icons/pdf.png'); // returns an empty string if no slides field present $result .= $bibentry->getLink('slides'); // returns an empty string if no poster field present $result .= $bibentry->getLink('poster');
How to specify the encoding of bibtex files (UTF-8/ISO-8859-1/etc.)?
By default, bibtexbrowser assumes that the bibtex file is UTF-8 encoded. If you want to change it to e.g. ISO-8859-1, add intobibtexbrowser.local.php
:define('BIBTEX_INPUT_ENCODING','ISO-8859-1');Note that if the bibtex only contains latex-encoded diacritics (e.g.
\'e
), it does not matter. The encoding of the bibtex file and the one of the generated HTML is identical.How to disable Javascript progressive enhancement?
add intobibtexbrowser.local.php
:define('BIBTEXBROWSER_USE_PROGRESSIVE_ENHANCEMENT',false);
How to remove the "[bibtex]" links?
@define('BIBTEXBROWSER_BIBTEX_LINKS',false);
How to change the reference indices?
The configuration of ABBRV_TYPE drives the indices// index => [1] The essence of metamodeling // year => [2005] The essence of metamodeling // x-abbrv => [SoSyM] The essence of metamodeling if the bibtex entry contains a field x-abbrv define('ABBRV_TYPE','year');// may be year/x-abbrv/key/none/indexOne can also extend class SimpleDisplay to tweak the indices.
For instance, this configuration ...
// bibtexbrowser.local.php class SimpleDisplayExt extends SimpleDisplay { // overriding the default function setIndices() { $this->setIndicesInIncreasingOrderChangingEveryYear(); } } bibtexbrowser_configure('BIBTEXBROWSER_DEFAULT_DISPLAY','SimpleDisplayExt');results in resetting the numeric indices every year as follows
2017 [1] article1... (2017) [pdf] [doi] [2] article2... (2017) [pdf] [doi] [3] article3... (2017) [pdf] [doi] etc.. 2016 [1] article1... (2017) [pdf] [doi] [2] article2... (2017) [pdf] [doi] [3] article3... (2017) [pdf] [doi]
How to use the "Academic style"?
The default academic mode creates four sections:
- books
- articles and book chapters
- workshop papers (for entries containing "workshop" in the field booktitle)
- others
You may create your own one in
bibtexbrowser.local.php
(see also "creating a bibtexbrowser.local.php" below):define('BIBLIOGRAPHYSECTIONS','my_sectioning'); function my_sectioning() { return array( // Books array( 'query' => array(Q_TYPE=>'book'), 'title' => 'Books' ), // Articles array( 'query' => array(Q_TYPE=>'article'), 'title' => 'Refereed Articles' ), // Conference and Workshop papers array( 'query' => array(Q_TYPE=>'inproceedings'), 'title' => 'Conference and Workshop Papers' ), // others array( 'query' => array(Q_TYPE=>'misc|phdthesis|mastersthesis|bachelorsthesis|techreport'), 'title' => 'Other Publications' ) ); }
How to get the individual bib pages embedded as well?
define('BIBTEXBROWSER_URL',"");
How to add links to the slides of a conference/workshop paper?
You can simply fill thecomment
field of the bib entry with an HTML link:
@inproceedings{foo,
author="Jean Dupont",
title="Bibtexbrowser",
year=2009,
booktitle="Proceedings of the BIB conference",
comment={[slides]}
}
This comment field can also be used to add acceptance rates and impact factors.How to localize bibtexbrowser?
Add inbibtexbrowser.local.php
:<?php global $BIBTEXBROWSER_LANG; $BIBTEXBROWSER_LANG=array(); $BIBTEXBROWSER_LANG['Refereed Conference Papers']="Conférences avec comité de lecture"; ... $BIBTEXBROWSER_LANG['Year']="Année"; ?>
How to change the default frame?
Add inbibtexbrowser.local.php
:<?php // or any valid query: year=2010, author=Jane, etc. @define('BIBTEXBROWSER_DEFAULT_FRAME','all'); ?>
How to configure the sorting order of Bibtex entries?
The default order is first by bibtex field year, then by bibtex field month, per functions `compare_bib_entry_by_year` and `compare_bib_entry_by_month`.
You can change this with
define('ORDER_FUNCTION',...)
and define('ORDER_FUNCTION_FINE',...)
in bibtexbrowser.local.php
:<?php function my_own_order($a, $b) { return strcmp($a->getKey(),$b->getkey()); } define('ORDER_FUNCTION','my_own_order'); ?>
How to change the title of the result page?
You may create your own title function in
bibtexbrowser.local.php
(see "creating a bibtexbrowser.local.php" below):define('BIBLIOGRAPHYTITLE','my_title_function'); function my_title_function($query) { return "Publications of the Nuclear Research Group"; }See function DefaultBibliographyTitle for inspiration.
How to disallow crawler indexing?
Add in
bibtexbrowser.local.php
(see "creating a bibtexbrowser.local.php" below):define('BIBTEXBROWSER_ROBOTS_NOINDEX', true);
How to load Bibtex from a dynamic string?
You can use the special
php://memory
feature in a new dispatcher.Add in
bibtexbrowser.local.php
:define("BIBTEXBROWSER_MAIN", 'DynamicDispatcher');and then in
bibtexbrowser.after.php
:<?php class DynamicDispatcher extends Dispatcher { function getDB() { $data = fopen('php://memory','x+'); $dynamic_string = "@book{aKey,title={A Book},author={Jan Doe},publisher={Springer},year=2009}\n"; fwrite($data, $dynamic_string); fseek($data,0); $db = new BibDataBase(); $db->update_internal("inline", $data); return $db; } } ?>
How to load bibliographic data in other formats?
If your bibliographic data comes from XML or a database, you can still browse it with bibtexbrowser as follows:
Add in
bibtexbrowser.local.php
:define("BIBTEXBROWSER_MAIN", 'PgmDispatcher');and then in
bibtexbrowser.after.php
:<?php class PgmDispatcher extends Dispatcher { function getDB() { $db = new BibDataBase(); // builds the first entry $entry = new BibEntry(); $entry->setType("article"); $entry->setField("title", "foo"); $entry->setField("year", "2014"); $entry->setKey("kolp"); $db->addEntry($entry); // builds the second entry $entry2 = new BibEntry(); $entry2->setType("article"); $entry2->setField("title", "bar"); $entry2->setField("year", "2013"); $entry2->setKey("tili"); $db->addEntry($entry2); return $db; } } ?>
How to remove fields from the bibtex text?
If you want to remove some fields (e.g. abbrv and comment) from the resulting bibtex, add in
bibtexbrowser.local.php
:<?php define('BIBTEXBROWSER_BIBTEX_VIEW','reconstructed'); define('BIBTEXBROWSER_BIBTEX_VIEW_FILTEREDOUT','abbrv|comment'); ?>
How to activate page numbering in the output?
Add in
bibtexbrowser.local.php
:<?php bibtexbrowser_configure('BIBTEXBROWSER_DEFAULT_DISPLAY','PagedDisplay'); bibtexbrowser_configure('PAGE_SIZE','3'); ?>
How to override framesets and headers?
You can customize every view as follows, in particular by playing with
BIBTEXBROWSER_URL
.frameset.html
:menu.php
:MENU (no header sent) <?php define('BIBTEXBROWSER_URL','output.php'); $_GET['menu']=1; $_GET['bib']='foo.bib'; include('bibtexbrowser.php'); ?>
output.php
:OUTPUT (no header sent) <?php define('BIBTEXBROWSER_URL','elem.php'); include('bibtexbrowser.php'); ?>
elem.php
:ELEM (no header sent) <?php include('bibtexbrowser.php'); ?>
How to add hyperlink to the authors' web pages?
You must add a
@string
block in the bibtex file, which contains the links. The key is a concatenation of hp_
and then FirstNameLastName
(no space). For instance:@String { hp_ericfoo = {http://www.foo.de/}, hp_joebar = {http://www.joebar.me/}, }
How to modify bibtex entries on the command line?
Use
bibtexbrowser-cli.php
. For instance:php bibtexbrowser-cli.php mybib.bib --id classical --set-title \"a new title\" --id with_abstract --set-title \"a new title\" --set-year 1990
How to use with composer?
Bibtexbrowser can now be downloaded from packagist with composer.In your project's `composer.json`, just add this
"monperrus/bibtexbrowser": "dev-master". E.G.:
{ "require": { "monperrus/bibtexbrowser": "dev-master" } }With composer, a test server can be started with the following commands:
cd vendor/monperrus/bibtexbrowser/
composer serveWhich runs this script:
php -S localhost:29896 bibtexbrowser.phpNow, to display a particular bibtex file in your browser, the URI should be of this form:
localhost:29896/?bib=bibfile.bibNote the forward slash following the port number.
How to add a banner to the main view in frameset mode?
For instance, if you want to add a "home page" button in the main view of the frameset mode, add a banner function in
bibtexbrowser.local.php
as follows:<?php function bibtexbrowser_top_banner() { return 'Home page'; } ?>
How to configure the type of metadata that bibtexbrowser generates?
Bibtexbrowser can generate Coins, Google Scholar, Dublin Core (DC), Opengraph and Eprints metadata. This can be configured in
bibtexbrowser.local.php
as follows:<?php @define('METADATA_COINS',true); // see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COinS @define('METADATA_GS',false); // metadata google scholar, see http://www.monperrus.net/martin/accurate+bibliographic+metadata+and+google+scholar @define('METADATA_DC',true); // see http://dublincore.org/ @define('METADATA_OPENGRAPH',true); // see http://ogp.me/ @define('METADATA_EPRINTS',false); // see https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Category:EPrints_Metadata_Fields ?>
Related tools
Old-fashioned:
bibhtml, bib2html, bibtohtml, bibtextohtml, bibtex2html, bibtex2web, stratego bibtex module
Unlike them, bibtexbrowser is dynamic, i.e. generates the HTML pages on the fly. Thus, you do not need to regenerate the static HTML files each time the bib file is changed.
Heavyweight:
PHP BibTeX Database Manager, bibadmin, basilic, phpbibman, aigaion, refbase, wikindx, refdb
Unlike them, bibtexbrowser does not need a MySQL database.
Main competitor:
SimplyBibtex has the same spirit, but the project seems dead since 2006
