Re: [O] helm-bibtex questions
I think you are also still missing a % sign at the beginning of the -*-
line.
What if you change the dialect from the bibtex Entry-types menu?
also, what still doesn't work?

Try removing the comma in the last entry. I've found that having this

Just grasping at straws here for you :-)

First. Make sure you have a backup of the references. I like to keep
mine in a local git repo so you can undo any mistakes that get made.
I suggest you run these first:
%% (bibtex-validate-globally) ; checks for duplicate keys
%% (bibtex-validate)
I also recommend you run bibtex-sort (it is easier to spot duplicates
in
a sorted list).
and (org-ref-build-full-bibliography) - makes a pdf of all references.
to make sure everything is compliant and functional.
Then, put this next line at the top of your bibtex file. The t
argument to
org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry will preserve your existing keys.
% (bibtex-map-entries (lambda (key start end)
(org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry
t)))
Put your cursor at the end of that line, and type C-x C-e to run the
function, and
wait patiently. It took a few minutes on my 1300 entries, and I had to
restart it once on some entry.
when it is done, run (org-ref-build-full-bibliography) again to make
sure it works and review the ~200 page pdf ;). fix errors and repeat
until it builds ;)
Note if you want to change title cases in all entries you can use
% (bibtex-map-entries 'jmax-title-case-article)
% (bibtex-map-entries 'jmax-sentence-case-article)
I hope that helps!

It’s a pretty straightforward org document except for one thing: the
key
to making this work was biblatex which can be used to create several
lists of references filtered according to keywords, author, etc.
This
allowed me to have separate sections for journal articles,
conference
presentations, etc. I store the relevant keywords in the tags
field of
the BibTeX entries and since biblatex doesn’t know this field, I
copy
the tags on-the-fly to the keywords field (see DeclareSourcemap in
the
LaTeX headers).

Re: [O] helm-bibtex questions
You need:

You probably have to close and reopen the file, and you will probably be
prompted for running local variables (or use C-x C-e after the command
above it
With this, it works fine for me.
This isn't really an org-ref problem, it is happening in
bibtex-clean-entry. it might be better to move it to github. I just
noticed a similar issue already there:

Re: [O] helm-bibtex questions
Hi Titus Another round of helm-bibtex questions if you dont mind (question come since i use it 50 times a day now ;-)) 1. is there a way (or a keybind) to select all entries filtered? now to select all my publications for example i have to use C-space repeatedly. 2. what is the syntax for greater then? for example all articles 2012 (year) 4. i cant get helm-bibtex to search the biblatex field of pubstate. are biblatex (biber) supported/ i have this in my config? (setq helm-bibtex-additional-search-fields '(pubstate)) also on a related issue i assume one can define many fields in the above example. since my elisp sucks would the syntax be this (setq helm-bibtex-additional-search-fields '(pubstate tags)) or do you need to qoute them or use a , symbol? 5. i love the insert formatted reference (f5) option and use it often sending people references: a. does it also auto send that to the clipboard? b. it cuts most of the authors name and leaves only the first few. is there a switch to get it to print all authors. is that a latex cite formatting issue? best and thanks so much again Z On Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 6:12 PM, Titus von der Malsburg malsb...@posteo.de wrote: Here is my CV in org-mode: https://gist.github.com/tmalsburg/96084ba82281937c26b7 It’s a pretty straightforward org document except for one thing: the key to making this work was biblatex which can be used to create several lists of references filtered according to keywords, author, etc. This allowed me to have separate sections for journal articles, conference presentations, etc. I store the relevant keywords in the tags field of the BibTeX entries and since biblatex doesn’t know this field, I copy the tags on-the-fly to the keywords field (see DeclareSourcemap in the LaTeX headers).

Re: [O] helm-bibtex questions
In org-ref, I have a function that will copy a bibtex entry to the clipboard in the helm menu for the cite link actions: https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/blob/master/org-ref.el#L3363 And here a menu item to insert a bibtex entry and attach its pdf to an email: https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/blob/master/org-ref.el#L3382 exactly for those purposes! 5. i love the insert formatted reference (f5) option and use it often sending people references: a. does it also auto send that to the clipboard? There is currently no way to copy references directly to the clipboard. My recommendation is to use one of Emacs’ mail clients, then you don’t need the clipboard.

Re: [O] helm-bibtex questions
yes, there is a way ;) First. Make sure you have a backup of the references. I like to keep mine in a local git repo so you can undo any mistakes that get made. I suggest you run these first: %% (bibtex-validate-globally) ; checks for duplicate keys %% (bibtex-validate) I also recommend you run bibtex-sort (it is easier to spot duplicates in a sorted list). and (org-ref-build-full-bibliography) - makes a pdf of all references. to make sure everything is compliant and functional. Then, put this next line at the top of your bibtex file. The t argument to org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry will preserve your existing keys. % (bibtex-map-entries (lambda (key start end) (org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry t))) Put your cursor at the end of that line, and type C-x C-e to run the function, and wait patiently.

Maintaining the content of the BibTeX file not really in the scope of helm-bibtex (I prefer to write my BibTeX entries by hand). Perhaps org-ref or ebib can help here? Once you have a function that generates a new key and inserts it in the BibTeX file, you can easily add it to the list of actions in helm-bibtex. Indeed. See org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry This adds a key according to some rules, and cleans up the entries in a lot of ways. We try to always get bibtex entries from a doi (using doi-utils.el), and they almost always need some cleaning. Hope that helps.

Since the tags field is non-standard, it has to be added to `helm-bibtex-additional-search-fields`. Another solution would be to use the pubstate field and to search for your name and “forthcoming” (add pubstate to helm-bibtex-additional-search-fields for this to work). 3.is it possible to ass an option to auto generate a bibkey for a selected citation based on user criteria such as author(date)short-title? Maintaining the content of the BibTeX file not really in the scope of helm-bibtex (I prefer to write my BibTeX entries by hand). Perhaps org-ref or ebib can help here? Once you have a function that generates a new key and inserts it in the BibTeX file, you can easily add it to the list of actions in helm-bibtex. Hope that helps. Titus thx so much in advance, you and john have given me confidence to finally dive into the whole latex/bibteX world best Z

The number of matches will be displayed in the mode line. i see that now thx! :) the problem was(is) that its colored black on my black modline BG which makes it invisible ;-) i assume thats an helm config i need to change If you don’t want to type these search expressions, you could create a command that invokes helm-bibtex with a default search expression and that command could be bound to a keyboard shortcut. that would be prefect for me and a solution to my issue. would you mind giving an example of such a code chunk. unfortunately i dont know elisp though as john recommended i will do my best this summer when the semester ends to try and pick it up :) Sure, here you go: #+BEGIN_SRC elisp ;; Define helm-search with predefined search expression: (defun helm-bibtex-my-publications () Search BibTeX entries authored by Xebar Saram. (interactive) (helm :sources '(helm-source-bibtex) :full-frame t :input xebar saram :candidate-number-limit 500)) ;; Bind this search function to Ctrl-x p: (global-set-key (kbd C-x p) 'helm-bibtex-my-publications) #+END_SRC i will definitely use your tag system as you recommended, sounds perfect for me The tag system also comes in handy when generating publication lists for CVs and web pages because BibTeX does not distinguish between conference papers, posters, and talks. If you have tags for that, it’s relatively easy to create separate sections for these types of publications using biblatex or bib2bib and bibtex2html in the case of web pages. thanks again for your kind help and the amazing app ;-) You are welcome.
