First of all, it's an optional entry so only exported if present. What I did was consider which types of publications would tend to have a URL instead of other bibliographic information and only include for those where it would likely necessary. For instance, journal articles will be given a DOI so a URL is less useful; technical reports, however, are likely to be hosted at an institution's web site so a URL is likely useful. But I must admit that I didn't spend much time thinking about which ones should have it. I didn't want all of them because I often store the URL for a journal article in the org file just for quick access but I do not want it exported to BiBTeX as it would be messy and superfluous when the paper were cited. I'm glad the patch seemed straightforward! Thank you. -- : Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50, Org release_9.4.6-570-g7666d6 : Latest paper written in org: https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.05096
