Systematic review tools
Download PDFs from a BibTeX file
.venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements-pdf-download.txt
.venv/bin/python src/download_pdfs.py neurodivergent-sw-eng.bib \
--output neurodivergent-sw-eng-with-files.bib --pdf-dir ./pdfs
Restrict downloads by source with --source:
.venv/bin/python src/download_pdfs.py papers.bib --output papers-with-files.bib \
--pdf-dir ./pdfs --source ACM
Use --source ACM Scopus or repeat --source to allow multiple sources.
Matching ignores case and surrounding whitespace and accepts any source in an
entryβs semicolon-separated set. Inferred ACM sources based on publisher also
qualify. Entries with missing/unknown sources are skipped when a filter is
specified. Skipped entries remain in the output with their existing metadata
and file fields unchanged; they make no requests and do not count as failures.
The skipped count is logged. Without --source, all entries are considered.
The filter controls eligibility only: an entry with ACM; Scopus still uses
ACM browser download rules even when selected through --source Scopus.
Exclude sources with --exclude-source:
