3GPP Bibtex entry generator

This project aims to generate BiBTeX files that can be used when citing 3GPP specifications. The input is a document list exported from the 3GPP Portal.

Installation

pip install 3gpp-citations

To also install test dependencies run

pip install 3gpp-citations[test]

Instructions

1. Go to the 3GPP Portal
2. Generate the list of specifications you want.
3. Download to Excel and save file
4. Run python 3gpp-citations.py -i exported.xlsx -o 3gpp.bib
5. Use in LaTeX.

Optionally use the provided 3gpp.bib directly.

Things to note

• The output bibtex class is set to @techreport.
• If you add the option --xelatex, break-symbols \- will be used in url-fields.
• The version and date are read from 3gpp.org, but it is slow so it takes a while to parse the list. If you find an easy solution to this, let me know.

Example output
