Poor bibtex formatting #581

Open perrette opened 1 year ago

perrette commented 1 year ago

First, thanks for the great API. I just wish the bibtex API would be improved.

I was looking at that paper. One author name is Hélène Seroussi. The request https://api.crossref.org/works/10.1038/s41586-021-03302-y apparently provides reasonable results:

"given":"He\u0301le\u0300ne","family":"Seroussi"

(I checked the unicode characters are correct)

But the bibtex transformation https://api.crossref.org/works/10.1038/s41586-021-03302-y/transform/application/x-bibtex returns the weird:

He{\'}le{`}ne Seroussi

(which would be Heĺeǹe Seroussi)

I think that is no isolated case.

Any plan to improve the conversion to bibtex?
