Metadata for arXiv

The goal of this repository is to provide a minimal API to put metadata on arXiv papers.

TODO: Better description + API description.

Installation

For building opendetex (which is a necessary dependency), you will need gcc, flex and make.

• Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/Phyks/arxiv_metadata.
• Init submodules (opendetex): git submodule init; git submodule update.
• Build opendetex: cd reference_fetcher/opendetex; make.
• [This is all if you only want to use the reference_fetcher. Else, go on reading]
• Download required Python modules: pip install -r requirements.txt.
• [Optional] Update configuration in config.py. Default values are for testing and dev.
• You are ready to go.

Test it

You can test it easily using the Bottle built-in webserver. This is the default configuration.

To start the app, just run python3 ./main.py and head to http://localhost:8080.

You should not use this server in production, and should edit main.py accordingly.

Associated library

reference_fetcher is a module you can use to:

• Fetch DOIs (or arXiv ids) of papers referenced by a given paper on arXiv (or any other paper, provided that you have a .bbl file).
• Fetch DOI associated with a given arXiv paper (if any).
• Fetch the arXiv identifier associated to a given DOI (if any).
• and more :)

fetch_references.py script in the root folder is here to show you how to use it and to serve as a minimal example.

Usage

• ./fetch_references.py some_file.bbl to get a list of DOIs associated to each \bibitem.
• ./fetch_references.py arxiv_eprint_id to get a list of DOIs associated to each reference from the provided arXiv eprint.

Example

$ ./fetch_references.py 1401.2910

 'note For example, it may be the case, though it seems unlikely, that a classified polynomial-time factoring algorithm is available to parts of the intelligence community': None,

Another example of a limited quantum speedup would be Shor's factoring algorithm running on a fully coherent quantum computer vs a classical computer where the period finding using a quantum circuit has been replaced by a classical period finding algorithm": None,
 'note While one can in principle look for an optimal annealing time for each individual problem instance, we instead determine an averaged optimal annealing time for each problem size by annealing many instances at various annealing times , and then use these for all future problems of that size': None}
