What is QuickBib?

QuickBib is a cross-platform utility that uses doi2bib3 to fetch BibTeX for DOIs, arXiv identifiers as well as article titles. Works as a GUI app and also as a CLI. Perfect for research workflows, manuscripts and automation.

Why QuickBib?

Designed for researchers, writers and automation — QuickBib makes fetching and normalizing BibTeX simple.

  • Quickly obtain BibTeX: Uses doi2bib3 strategies (content negotiation, Crossref, arXiv resolution) to return high-quality BibTeX entries.
  • arXiv and Journal aware: Paste arXiv IDs, arXiv URLs, Journal links or titles — QuickBib detects them and resolves the DOI automatically. See examples.
  • GUI + CLI: Use the GUI app for quick lookups or integrate into scripts via the CLI and programmatic API.
  • Free software + Cross platform: QuickBib is free and open source software (FOSS) licensed under GPLv3. It runs on GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS — install from packages or download prebuilt releases (see below).
