October 2009 : a new release (bibus 1.5.0)

  • OOo3.1 compatibility
  • Infinite number of file/http links
  • Clever capitalization (lord of war => Lord of War ...)
  • Better handling of journal abbreviations
  • Import/Export filters can be added easily (plugin)
  • journal abbreviations and shortcuts can be easily edited (simple csv file that can be edited in OOo/excel or a text editor)
  • Lot of bug fixes
  • Requires python2.5 (not a problem anymore under Windows since OOo3.1 includes 2.6)
  • Requires wxpython-2.8

Import/Export filters

From Bibus

Jump to: navigation, search

Since Bibus 1.5, you can add custom Import and Export filters (File -> Import / Export -> install a new filter). A filter is just a simple python file which can be edited with a traditional text editor. You can add here your own filters or corrections to existing filters: fill the table and copy your script. If you want to install a filter from this page, copy the corresponding script in a text editor and save the file (for ex: myfilter.py). Then File -> Import -> Install a new filter -> Select myfilter.py. The table is ordered by filter type (export and import).

You will find relevant tutorial detailing how to import/export references in bibus here.

Type Name Author Description Link
Export example example example link
Import Refer_Endnote ? Modified both filters Refer_Export exporting filter in EndNoteX and Refer_EndNote in Bibus to get complete information imported into Bibus 1.5 link


RefWorks to Bibus 1.5 Importfilter

When you import references from RefWorks using the RIS import filter, the ID-numbers will be imported as short descriptions. With this modification of the filter, the ID-numbers will be omitted. The short description will be AuthorYear as usual.

File:RefWorks without ID.zip

(References must be exported in RefWorks using the "Bibliographic Software" mode.)

Endnote X to Bibus 1.5 Filter

If you use Refer_Export exporting filter in EndNoteX and then Refer_EndNote in Bibus to import the file, some fields won`t be imported, such as notes, URL, ISBN, Address or Call Number. Hence, I've modified both filters to get this information imported into Bibus 1.5.
First I modified the Refer_Export filter. I don`t know how to upload it here, so I will explain how to do it:

  1. Edit-> Output Styles-> Open Style Manager
  2. Select Refer Export and click on Edit
  3. File-> Save As, to save the filter with a different name, for example, Refer Export to Bibus
  4. In the right-hand tree, click on Bibliography-Templates.
  5. Now you'll have to change the identifier %O before youre desired fields to the appropriate identifiers. You will have to change them in every reference type you want to use. I made the following changes:

  1. Check Refer Export to Bibus
  2. File-> Save
  3. File-> Close Style Manager
  4. Select Edit->Output Styles->Refer Export to Bibus
  5. File-> Export, select a name and path for the file and Save


For Conference Proceedings I had two different dates, that of the conference or meeting and that of publication. However, Bibus have a Year of Conference and a Date of Conference field. Hence, I use Year of Conference as Year of publication (%D), and Date of Conference as Date of Conference (%f).
Call number goes to Bibus field Custom3 and Date of Conference to field Custom4.
I don't know why but in some cases instead of %#, EndNote writes %%#. Thus, I had to edit the created file and replace all %% by % before importing into Bibus.

To import the created file from Bibus you will have to follow this steps:

  1. Copy the following text (under Filter title) into a new text file and save it as Refer_EndNote_toBibus.py
  2. Copy Refer_EndNote_toBibus.py into C:\\Program Files\bibus\Import
  3. Open Bibus and go to File-> Import->Refer_EndNote_toBibus
  4. Select the file to import, after a while the references to import will appear in the Impor Buffer
  5. Select all (or the desired ones) and copy
  6. Go to References and paste.


It worked for me. Good luck!!
