Originally exported from Invenio https://github.com/inveniosoftware/invenio.

Installation

pip install refextract

Usage

To get structured info from a publication reference:

from refextract import extract_journal_reference
reference = extract_journal_reference("J.Phys.,A39,13445")
print(reference)
{
    'extra_ibids': [],
    'is_ibid': False,
    'misc_txt': u'',
    'page': u'13445',
    'title': u'J. Phys.',
    'type': 'JOURNAL',
    'volume': u'A39',
    'year': ''
 }

To extract references from a publication full-text PDF:

from refextract import extract_references_from_file
reference = extract_references_from_file("some/fulltext/1503.07589v1.pdf")
print(reference)
{
    'references': [
            {'author': [u'F. Englert and R. Brout'],
             'doi': [u'10.1103/PhysRevLett.13.321'],
             'journal_page': [u'321'],
             'journal_reference': ['Phys.Rev.Lett.,13,1964'],
             'journal_title': [u'Phys.Rev.Lett.'],
             'journal_volume': [u'13'],
             'journal_year': [u'1964'],
             'linemarker': [u'1'],
             'title': [u'Broken symmetry and the mass of gauge vector mesons'],
             'year': [u'1964']}, ...
       ],
    'stats': {
          'author': 15,
          'date': '2016-01-12 10:52:58',
          'doi': 1,
          'misc': 0,
          'old_stats_str': '0-1-1-15-0-1-0',
          'reportnum': 1,
          'status': 0,
          'title': 1,
          'url': 0,
          'version': u'0.1.0.dev20150722'
    }
}

You can also extract directly from a URL:

from refextract import extract_references_from_url
reference = extract_references_from_url("http://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.07589v1.pdf")
print(reference)
{
    'references': [
            {'author': [u'F. Englert and R. Brout'],
             'doi': [u'10.1103/PhysRevLett.13.321'],
             'journal_page': [u'321'],
             'journal_reference': ['Phys.Rev.Lett.,13,1964'],
             'journal_title': [u'Phys.Rev.Lett.'],
             'journal_volume': [u'13'],
             'journal_year': [u'1964'],
             'linemarker': [u'1'],
             'title': [u'Broken symmetry and the mass of gauge vector mesons'],
             'year': [u'1964']}, ...
       ],
    'stats': {
          'author': 15,
          'date': '2016-01-12 10:52:58',
          'doi': 1,
          'misc': 0,
          'old_stats_str': '0-1-1-15-0-1-0',
          'reportnum': 1,
          'status': 0,
          'title': 1,
          'url': 0,
          'version': u'0.1.0.dev20150722'
    }
}
