Mendeley Desktop can import BibTeX, and can search online databases (possibly just Google Scholar) by title. It will repopulate every field for which there is information, including DOI and URL if they exist in the remote source. There is a button you can click to initiate this search (right near the title input field), so you may have to do this one by one. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1

Thanks, bcsikos JabRef with the local copy plugin (http://www.lhnr.de/#!code/localcopy) has a "Update BibTeX fields from INSPIRE/SPIRES" button. You can select all your entries and click the button, although if you didn't set the DOI beforehand I have no idea how it might find your articles. -- Julien
bibliography file question: refetching records automatically
Hello: I have a question regarding bibliography/bibtex databases. Is there a program or script that can use an existing bibliography database (format is not important, can be bibtex, RIS, etc.) and fetch all of its records in a complete form again from Pubmed based on the journal name, volume and pages fields? Possibly into a new file. I have a bibus database with hundreds of records but many of them are incomplete, and don't have DOI, PMID, URL fields. Fetching them again one by one would be tedious. Thanks, bcsikos
