Science Direct bibtex import

[helenocampos]

Hi! I just found something that might be a bug. Even when the bibtex generated by Science Direct contains the abstract field, parsifal is not importing it.

Their bibtex file is kinda problematic at the moment... they put several "keywords" on the same file for example

...
author = "Henrik Bærbak Christensen and Klaus Marius Hansen and Morten Kyng and Konstantinos Manikas",
keywords = "Software ecosystem architecture",
keywords = "Third-party sponsored software ecosystems",
keywords = "Telemedicine software ecosystems ",

And they don't use curly brackets to represent the values like this:

author = {Henrik Bærbak Christensen and Klaus Marius Hansen and Morten Kyng and Konstantinos Manikas},

So for some reasons the parser we use don't parse their bibtex properly.

Anyway, I am trying to figure out a way to solve this problem, but unfortunately theres no straight solution as we use a third party bibtex parser to read the files and import to the tool.

A preprocess to the bibtex file to append curly braces in abstract should work as a temporary solution. Since I dont really know python, I wrote a piece of code in Java to meet my needs.

For every line of the bibtex file:

if(row.contains("abstract = \"")){
                row = row.replace("abstract = \"", "abstract = {");
                row = row.concat("}");
}
