I am using mendeleyMendeley as a reference manager. The common notation for the references list in my field of work is the Guidelines by APA (7th). These guidelines recommend Sentence case for the title of the work in a reference list.

However my mendeleyMendeley database consistconsists meanwhile of multiple thousand article,thousands of articles which are not coherently named (some are in Title Case - Meaning Written Like This Example other in Sentence case, thus common use of capital and small letters). Instead of working through every of the examples by hand, I thought there have to be a smarter solution.

I know that there is the mendeleyMendeley API feature as well as a pythonPython library for using mendeleyMendeley API (here). I was wondering if anyone knows of a ready to use & open-source pythonPython script that:

  1. Helps uyou set up the API (Access Token)
  2. Reads in your Library
  3. Changes all entries of type article or book-chapter to sentence case.

I might jump on that task if there is no such thing, as I can not be the only person, who encounters this issue.

Also is this the right place to ask, or would this be a better fit for stackexchange academiaAcademia Stack Exchange?
