We sometimes want to know part of or all of references appeared in a database. When number of cited references is huge, it is not easy to make a bibliography table. Program make_bib makes a bibliography database for BIBTeX [Lamport, 1995].
For example:
extract_fields actin.pl actin.bib.pl ENTRY REFERENCE make_bib actin.bib.pl actin.bib
The following bibliography database for BIBTeX is generated:
@article{ATAX, author = "Nellen, W. and Gallwitz, D.", journal = "J. Mol. Biol. ", title = "Actin genes and actin messenger RNA in Acanthamoeba castellanii. Nucleotide sequence of the split actin gene I.", volume = 159, pages = "1--18", year = 1982 } @article{ATAXE, author = "Edman, U. and Meza, I. and Agabian, N.", journal = "Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. ", title = "Genomic and cDNA actin sequences from a virulent strain of Entamoeba histolytica.", volume = 84, pages = "3024--3028", year = 1987 }
