This is a database of clean bibtex files, managed using pubs.
In your .pubsrc you should have the following to make sure that new entries are given the right name.
[main]
normalize_citekey = True
citekey_format = {author_last_name:l}_{short_title}_{year}
In order to export bibliographies for given projects, use ./extract.sh $texfile > $bibfile, and all citations in your tex file which exist in the
pubs database will be output into $bibfile. Specifically, the script looks
for \cite{...}. If you are citing in some other way, ask ChatGPT to rewrite
./extract.sh to also do that.
One can also do:
pubs export $(cat BIB_ENTRIES_FILE) > my_paper.bib
