capitalization of titles in org-ref

capitalization of titles in org-ref

[Georg W. Otto]

Hi,

I am not completely sure if the problem is caused by org-ref or
somwehere else in the process, but here it is:

When importing a paper by doi using

doi-utils-add-bibtex-entry-from-doi

the title is capitalized. I want to switch off this behaviour, leaving
the paper title in its original capitalization state. Any idea how I can
do this?

Cheers,

Georg

That happens because of the function org-ref-title-case-article in the
variable org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry-hook.

Just set org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry-hook to have what you want in it in
your init files to prevent the title casing from occurring.

Thanks a lot for your answer. Unfortunately I am not very elisp-savy, so
excuse me if I did something silly. I set
org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry-hook in my init file and commented out
org-ref-title-case-article like this:

(setq bibtex-dialect 'biblatex)

(setq org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry-hook
  '(orcb-key-comma
    org-ref-replace-nonascii
    orcb-&
    orcb-%
    ;; org-ref-title-case-article
    orcb-clean-year
    orcb-key
    orcb-clean-doi
    orcb-clean-pages
    org-ref-sort-bibtex-entry))

(setq bibtex-align-at-equal-sign t
      bibtex-autokey-name-year-separator ""
      bibtex-autokey-year-title-separator ""
      bibtex-autokey-titleword-separator ""
      bibtex-autokey-titleword-first-ignore '("the" "a" "if" "and" "an")
      bibtex-autokey-titleword-length 30
      bibtex-autokey-titlewords 3
      bibtex-autokey-titleword-case-convert-function (quote identity)
      bibtex-autokey-name-case-convert-function (quote capitalize)
      bibtex-autokey-year-length 4
      )

As intended, the title words do not get capitalized, but now the bibtex
key only contains <author><yyyy><first title word>. Instead I need the
first three title words, in order to stay compatible with my existing
bibtex library. Any idea?

Cheers,

Georg

you could try commenting out orcb-key too. it should be using the
bibtex-autokey settings though.

If I do that, the key is omitted altogether. I did some further
searching and testing, and I came to the conclusion that the autokey
generator ignores all non-capitalized words in its default setting

(defcustom bibtex-autokey-titleword-ignore
  '("A" "An" "On" "The" "Eine?" "Der" "Die" "Das"
    "[^A-Z].*" ".*[^a-zA-Z0-9].*")

so in my init file I set it like this:

(setq bibtex-autokey-titleword-ignore '("A" "An" "On" "The" "of"))

Now it works the way I want it.

Thanks for your help.
