Supports only Protein Science at this time.\n\n\n## BACKGROUND\n\nThe ScholarOne Manuscript vendor used by Protein Science does not accept\nBibtex library files. Per the authors' instructions, you are stuck\nwith using a bibliography environment and bibitems. The bibitems are tedious\nand error-prone to assemble by hand.\n\nThe tex Stackexchange user Ixy published online a python2 script that I \nrepurposed for Protein Science and python3. It is not all-inclusive. Many \nedge cases remain unaddressed. You will still have to check all references \nmanually.\n\nThere are other solutions to this problem. You should be able to  generate a \n*.bbl file from your lib file by running LaTeX, BibTeX, latex, and latex on \nyour bib file. The *.bbl file contains the bibitems. I recommend using\nthis approach whenever possible. It is superior to the solution provided by my script. However,\nI had no luck with this approach at 1 AM on the night of manuscript submission.\n\nThere is also a Matlab solution. \nI did not have access to Matlab at the time that I found this solution. \nPerhaps this solution can be run with an octave.\n\n\n## Source of original script: \n\nAuthor of inspiring [code](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/124874/converting-to-bibitem-in-latex)\n: Ixy, a secretive [tex StackExchange ](https://tex.stackexchange.com/) user.\n\n\n## USAGE\n\nbib2item3.py refs.bib\n\n## Notes:\n\n- The bib file should have only the citations that you want to include in your manuscript.\n- The names of the journals should have the proper abbreviations. \n- The citations in the bib file should be in alphabetical order because this script does not sort them.\n- You should be able to copy the output into a bibliography environment in your LaTeX file. \n\n\n## To Be Done\n\n- run flake8 and edit\n- run pylint and edit\n- develop test functions\n- improve error handling\n\n## Update history\n\n|Version      | Changes                                                                                                                                    | Date                 |\n|:-----------:|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:--------------------:|\n| Version 0.2 |  Added badges and update table.
