CiteBib generates a nice Bibtex or Latex bibliography according to the document content.
CiteBib reads your tex files, track cite{} calls, and select useful fields. Then, it generates:
- a clean bibtex file,
- or a bibliography in a latex format (because some journals do not support bibtex).
The behavior is customisable from the configuration. Each subdirectory (bibtex, latex and raw) corresponds to a printing mode. The configuration file give you the possibility to activate or deactivate fields (like author, title…).
This is free and open source software.
