Description

Dear All,
I am extracting the bibliography of some ISTI researchers.

I go an error in some cases.

eg.

@inproceedings{oai:it.cnr:prodotti:462344,
author = {Gioia F. and Pascali M. A. and Greco A. and Colantonio S. and Scilingo E. P.},
booktitle = {EMBC 2021 - 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society, pp. 608--611, Online Conference, 30/10/2021, 5/11/2021},
doi = {10.1109/embc46164.2021.9630860},
publisher = {IEEE, New York, USA},
title = {Discriminating stress from cognitive load using contactless thermal imaging devices},
year = {2021}
}

Perhaps the correct output is

... Medicine & Biology...

with backslash

Regards

Yep, this char and others need to be properly encoded

I implemented the escape of '&'.

But I don't know which other characters should be encoded.

The Java library (jbibtex) does not provide a specify method to encode strings,
I used also a Mac OS Application (BibDesk) to parse the records and it accepted also the unescaped version of &.

The problem is not bibtex, rather the use of some characters conflicting with formats http://www.bibtex.org/SpecialSymbols/ e.g.

  • {
  • "
  • $

These need to be escaped by \

I didn't managed to find a complete list.
