Paper_Reference_Check_Helper

This is an effective and light-flash assistant for checking the references and rapidly finding out problems in your papers with just uploading .bib and .tex file of the paper, which can provide great help when you are writing papers agonizingly, especially the literature review.

Note before using

You can either pack the program to an .exe file or directly use it by running main_GUI.py in Python. For a flasher and more recommended using in format of .exe file, remember to use Pyinstaller (my python version is 3.9) to process the main body of the program (not including the .spec file. It is just an instance for my Pyinstaller using record) and then find your .exe in \dist folder after it completes. A newest example of CLI operation on Windows is as follows:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon="app_icon.ico" --add-data "icon.png;." --add-data "ref_checker_logic.py;." --add-data "bib_utils.py;." --add-data "app_utils.py;." --collect-all "pybtex" --collect-all "latexcodec" main_gui.py

Pay attention: CLI input for older version before v0.0.7 is:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon="app_icon.ico" --add-data "ref_checker_logic.py;." --add-data "icon.png;." --collect-all "pybtex" --collect-all "latexcodec" main_gui.py

Use Pyinstaller to pack the program by downloading it through pip as follows:

pip install pyinstaller

Future

This work is supporting just by myself. My initial blueprint was to create a completely open-source, quite flash and beautiful literature management software rather than a bloated and paid large-scale one. But I don't know for sure if I have enough time to upgrade and improve it. For cooperation, My QQ is 1665395842.
