Citation & Academic Reference Toolkit

Features • Quick Start • 📖 Advanced Usage • 🗺️ Roadmap • 🤝 Contributing

OneCite is a command-line tool and Python library for citation management. It accepts DOIs, paper titles, arXiv IDs, and mixed inputs, and outputs formatted bibliographic entries.

Researchers frequently accumulate reference lists in ad-hoc formats—DOIs copied from browser tabs, arXiv IDs from paper PDFs, titles typed by hand, and BibTeX fragments from various sources. Cleaning these into consistent BibTeX output is tedious and error-prone. OneCite parses raw reference text and attempts metadata lookup against configured sources such as CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar. The result is a reproducible processing layer that reports unresolved entries and produces auditable BibTeX where metadata can be found.
