@ldodds So that question I had at the weekend.... Turns out there's quite a few publications!
I turned her master list into a google sheet and am wondering What Next for the BibTex. What would you do, oh Guru of Data?

@OX1Digital Some suggestions:
1. Use reference manager (like Zotero, Refworks, Mendeley) software to manage your list of publications, they'll normally do export in a range of citation styles and formats and may allow you to enrich the metadata against standard databases.
OR
2. Find DOIs & ISBNS and use a tools like this: https://www.bibtex.com/c/doi-to-bibtex-converter/
OR
3. Try building the bibtex from the metadata in your doc using some formulas. The format is fairly straightforward.
@OX1Digital DOI lookup: https://www.crossref.org/guestquery/
DOI to bibtex (and many others)
https://citation.crosscite.org/
@ldodds Any of those apps you mention that you'd recommend? I'm moving the individual off a Word doc, do ideally would like to be able to set up for her and then hand over (so a web app)
@OX1Digital it's been years since I used any of them so can't really recommend.
tbh I'd consider asking them to just populate their ORCID profile or similar, especially if they already have an id. That's web based and has some extra benefits (e.g. authorising publishers to update your bio for you)
ORCID does bibtext export but only for users I think.

@OX1Digital
Sorry to butt in. I used Zotero to generate a BibTex file.

@OX1Digital @ldodds I use Zotero _a lot_. It's pretty decent, always free, got a web interface etc.
