bibliography from in document to .bib/.bbl file?












1















I have a tex file that has its biblography at the bottom of the article, but ArXiv does not like that and demands a bbl file. Is there an easy way to copy paste the bibitem objects into one of these files without having to completely change the format?



e.g. bibitem[Landau et al.(1992)]{1992A&A...259..696L} Landau, R., Grasdalen, G., & Sloan, G.~C. 1992, aap, 259, 696

    Mhhh, I always thought the arXiv liked it when the bibliography was added directly at the end with thebibliography. That is standard procedure and avoids all the .bbl malarkey that is normally necessary to upload to the arXiv (since they don't run BibTeX/process .bib files). Can you show us what your document looks like and what exactly the arXiv complains about?

    The first error is ! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package hyperref. and has little to do with citations. (See for example tex.stackexchange.com/q/329461/35864). Note also that currently your .bbl file is missing the begin{thebibliography}{9}...end{thebibliography}. There are also errors about the figures.

It sounds like you created the thebibliography environment by hand. If this assumption is correct, and assuming further that your main tex file is called main.tex, you should




  • copy all material in main.tex between begin{thebibliography}{} and end{thebibliography} into a file called main.bbl. (You may have to create this file from scratch; and



  • replace the copied material in the main tex file with the single instruction



    input{main.bbl}



where main should correspond to the filename of your main tex file.



If you then rerun LaTeX on your main tex file, the output should be exactly the same.
