Currently the bot doesn't touch {{cite arxiv}}, since those may be used to specifically cite the arxiv preprint. Very often, the citation to the published journal is what is desirable over the preprint.

When querying the ADSABS database with |arxiv=/|eprint= from {{cite arXiv}}, if there is a DOI match, post a message on the talk page of the article, saying there are {{cite arXiv}} could likely be updated to a {{cite journal}}

The following arxiv preprints have been published [DATE] edit
Bibcode Bot has found one or more {{cite arXiv}} preprints that have been officially published. Consider updating the following {{cite arXiv}} entries to {{cite journal}}/{{cite conference}}/{{cite book}}/any other appropriate {{cite xxx}} template instead.
- arXiv:1706.01812, Bibcode:2017PhRvL.118v1101A, doi:10.1103/physrevlett.118.221101.

- If all updates were desired and have been performed, simply delete this section.
- If only some of the updates were desired, perform only those, and remove the corresponding
{{User:Bibcode Bot/Arxiv-to-Journal}}lines above. - For entries that should not be converted, add
|convert=noto the relevant lines above (e.g.{{User:Bibcode Bot/Arxiv-to-Journal |arxiv=... |bibcode=... |doi=...|convert=no}}).
Click here to run Citation bot, which can automatically update some of those citations. Make sure to review Citation bot's edits, especially |date= or |year= to ensure they reflect the date of publication.

If there is a bibcode match only [i.e. no DOI match], instead log the entry at '_Cite arxiv with bibcode matches.txt'. Once the run is done, post the log below [on this page, see mockup], and clear the log.
