pip install refextractTo 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': {

}
}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)
