what is autobib fr?

AutoBib is a Chrome extension, built with TypeScript, that adds an Export Published BibTeX button to academic paper pages. Its main job is to solve a specific annoyance for researchers: when you find a paper on arXiv, it is often a preprint of something that was later formally published elsewhere, like a conference or journal, and that published version usually has better citation information. AutoBib finds that published version and copies a clean BibTeX citation entry straight to your clipboard. If no published version can be found, the extension tells you clearly instead of quietly giving you the arXiv preprint citation as a fallback, so you always know what you are actually copying. It works on arXiv abstract and PDF pages, Semantic Scholar paper and search pages, and Google Scholar results pages. To find the published version, it checks several sources in order: first DBLP, then Crossref by DOI and then by title, then OpenReview, and finally the ACL Anthology using a venue hint pulled from the arXiv comment field. The resolver that does this lookup can also run on its own from the command line, without the browser extension, letting you look up a citation by arXiv ID, by DOI, or by searching a paper's title directly. To install it, you clone the repository, install dependencies with npm, build it, then load the resulting dist folder into Chrome as an unpacked extension through developer mode. The project includes its own test suite and a typecheck command. It is licensed under MIT.
