Dear doi2bib Team,
I noticed that your service generates @inbook entries for book chapters, even when they are part of edited volumes with distinct authors. However, in BibTeX, @incollection is the correct entry type for such cases, as it properly handles chapter title, book title, editors, and page numbers.
Switching to @incollection would improve compatibility with standard BibTeX styles and produce more accurate references.
Thank you for the great tool, and I hope you find this suggestion helpful.
Best regards!
EXAMPLE:
inserting the following link into doi2bib https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-9608-7_1 produces:
@inbook{Best2019,
title = {Atomistic Force Fields for Proteins},
booktitle = {Biomolecular Simulations},
author = {Best, Robert B.},
publisher = {Springer New York},
year = {2019},
pages = {3–19},
ISBN = {9781493996087},
ISSN = {1940-6029},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-9608-7_1},
DOI = {10.1007/978-1-4939-9608-7_1},
}
Correct would be:
@incollection{Bonomi2019,
title = {Atomistic Force Fields for Proteins},
booktitle = {Biomolecular Simulations},
author = {Robert B. Best},
editor = {Massimiliano Bonomi and Carlo Camilloni},
publisher = {Springer New York},
year = {2019},
pages = {3--19},
chapter = {1},
isbn = {9781493996087},
issn = {1940-6029},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-9608-7_1},
doi = {10.1007/978-1-4939-9608-7_1}
}
The output of these items is shown below for using bibliographystyle plain in bibtex. The doi2bib output (not conforming to any popular academic citation styles, booktitle and editors missing):
[12] Robert B. Best. Atomistic Force Fields for Proteins, page 3–19. Springer New York, 2019.
The corrected doi2bib output with @incollection instead of @inbook (closely conforming to APA style):
[12] Robert B. Best. Atomistic force fields for proteins. In Massimiliano Bonomi and Carlo Camilloni, editors, Biomolecular Simulations, chapter 1, pages 3–19. Springer New York, 2019.
