If you work with academic papers, you’ve probably spend a long time cleaning up BibTeX entries – copying from publishers’ sites, fixing broken metadata or coming up with citation keys. BibMine automates this drudgery.
Point it at a directory of PDFs, and BibMine will extract bibliographic metadata directly from the PDF files using CERMINE, convert the metadata into a BibTeX entry with bibutils and reformat the result with BibTool so your BibTeX file looks consistent.
BibMine is free software available under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later.
