control which fields JabRef exports to a bbl file
Hi,
I’mrelativelynew to JabRef and am unclear about how to control which
of the fieldsin a given entrywillactuallybe exported to the BibTeX in
the *.bbl file created by JabRef. For example, downloading citations
from most journal cites directly into JabRefautomaticallyfills in the
url field(and often the Doi field)in the General tab in the entry
editor. When I run BibTeX with a standard bst file (e.g., the onefor
the American Physical Society), the resulting LaTeX bibliography
contains the url even though the APS does not want it included in the
bibliography environmentI submit to the journal. The obvious way to
solvethe problem is to edit, by hand, every entry in thebibliography
environment before I submit the paper. This seems extremely
inefficient. Another obvious solution would be to editevery entry in
JabRefand remove theinformationin the url(and other unwanted fields,
such as Doi) before I run BibTeX to generate the bibliography I will
then paste into the LaTeX file I’ll submit to the journal. This
seemsanunsatisfactory solution, not onlybecauseit would be very
tedious with a long bibliography (e.g., for a review article) but also
because I would like to keep that information for future use in other
circumstances. Is there a way, within JabRef, to tellcontrolwhich
fields to include in the BibTeX it generates and which to leave out?
(I thought the Entry Export editor was the answer, but studying the
information I could find on line suggests that it’s not.) Thanks very
much.--- michael

If you get an answer to this I (and I, suspect, many others) will be
delighted! But having looked at this before at length, I think the
consensus is that this is a deficiency of the bst file you are using,
and not JabRef. I routinely create a paper-specific bib file so I can
do things like deleting unwanted fields that the (often
publisher-supplied!) bst file insists on including.
One other option, which has just occurred to me and hence haven't tried,
is to run sed (or a similar stream editor) on the bbl file to comment
out "\newblock URL \url{" fields. If you use an IDE like TexStudio, I
think it should be possible to automate this using the Macros facility?
