Autobib — Export Publishe

AutoBib adds a button to arXiv, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar that copies the BibTeX of the published version of a paper — not the arXiv preprint.

When you cite a paper that's been published in a peer-reviewed venue, you should cite that venue, not the arXiv version. Tracking down the right BibTeX is tedious: searching DBLP, the venue's site, copy-pasting messy entries, fixing the citation key. AutoBib does it in one click.

What it does
Click "Export BibTex with AutoBib" on any arXiv abstract page (or the AutoBib link on a Semantic Scholar / Google Scholar result) and the extension cascades through the major bibliographic databases:
1. DBLP — for CS conferences and journals
2. Crossref — for any paper with a DOI
3. OpenReview — for ICLR / NeurIPS / COLM / TMLR (often before DBLP catches up)
4. arXiv comment field — as a hint when the venue isn't yet indexed anywhere

The toast shows live progress as it checks each source. The first verbatim hit is copied to your clipboard, ready to paste into your .bib file. Citation keys are normalized to a clean lastname-year-titleword style.

Honest about what it doesn't know
If a paper genuinely has no published version yet — or is only at a workshop the databases haven't indexed — AutoBib tells you so explicitly and offers the arXiv BibTeX as an opt-in fallback (never silently). When the arXiv comment hints at a venue ("Accepted at X"), AutoBib offers a best-guess @inproceedings you can copy and verify.

Privacy
AutoBib doesn't collect, store, or transmit any user data. Paper identifiers are sent only to the public APIs of arXiv, DBLP, Crossref, and OpenReview to perform the requested lookup.
