Why mkbib?

Managing citations is often the bottleneck of academic writing. Inconsistent formatting, missing fields, and duplicate entries can clutter your .bib files and cause compilation errors.

mkbib solves this by automating the hygiene of your bibliography. It ensures your references are publication-ready so you can focus on the content, not the metadata.

Key Capabilities

• Automated Cleaning: Standardizes entry formats and corrects common syntax errors automatically.
• Duplicate Detection: Intelligently identifies and merges or flags duplicate citations.
• Pipeline Ready: Designed to fit into Makefiles or CI/CD pipelines for automated LaTeX document generation.

Quick Start

Integrate mkbib into your writing workflow:

git clone https://github.com/mavens-group/mkbib.git
cd mkbib
# Install command (You mostly need rust and gtk4-devel)
cargo run --release
