Rebiber is a Python CLI tool that replaces unofficial or arXiv BibTeX entries with official records from DBLP or the ACL Anthology, keeping cite keys intact. It supports dry runs, field filtering, venue abbreviation, and optional live DBLP lookup.

Use cases

• fix arxiv bibtex entries with official dblp info
• normalize bibliography entries from the acl anthology
• clean up bib file before submitting a paper
• pretty-print and sort my references.bib
• shorten venue names in bibtex entries
• update only the citations used in my latex paper
• protect acronyms like BERT in bibtex titles

When to choose

• you write LaTeX papers and need official, consistent BibTeX entries
• you want to replace arXiv preprint citations with published venue records
• you need batch normalization, deduplication, or formatting of .bib files

When to avoid

• you need a GUI bibliography manager like Zotero or Mendeley
• your references are not in BibTeX format
• you need offline operation with live lookups (live DBLP search requires network)
