Automatically extract a bibitem in LaTex

Question

I am writing a conference paper in which I am required to use the format \bibitem entries rather than a BibTeX file for the references. Google Scholar support BibTeX. Is there an automatic method or a tool to extract \bibitem?

Example: I have the references in BibTeX format as follow:

 @article{rieck2011similarity,
  title={Similarity measures for sequential data},
  author={Rieck, Konrad},
  journal={Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery},
  volume={1},
  number={4},
  pages={296--304},
  year={2011},
  publisher={Wiley Online Library}
}

and I want to convert BibTeX format into the following format (\bibitem):

\bibitem{rieck2011similarity} K.~Rieck, \emph{Similarity measures for sequential data},\hskip 1em plus 0.5em minus 0.4em\relax Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, 2011.

Answer 1

Since there is no other answer, this (not exactly automatic) way could be helpful :

• Create a *.tex file with your bibliography in BibTeX
• Compile as usual (latex/bibtex/latex)
• In the directory of the *.tex file, open the *.bbl : all citations are converted in bibitem.
• Copy/paste in your document
