A simple web-based publications reference database system.
See the GitHub Publications wiki for the documentation, including How-to and Installation.
-
All publication reference data is visible to all. No login is required for viewing.
-
Publication references can be added by fetching data from:
-
Publication references can be added manually.
-
Curator accounts for adding and editing the publication entries can be created by the admin of the instance.
-
All curators can edit every publication reference. There is a log for each publication, so it is possible to see who did what when.
-
Publication references can be labeled. The labels can be used to indicate e.g. research group, facility or some other classification. A label can have a qualifier, e.g. to denote if the publication was due to facility service or to a collaboration.
-
A curator can use only the labels that she has been assigned by the admin.
-
Publication references can be set as unverified when loading them by automated scripts. A curator must then verify each such publication manually.
-
There is a blacklist registry based on the PMID and/or DOI of publications. When a publication is blacklisted, it will not be fetched when using PMID, DOI or automatic scripts. This is to avoid adding publications that have already been determined to be irrelevant.
-
The publications data can be extracted in JSON and CSV formats. The CSV format allows some basic filtering options.
The system was designed for keeping track of the publications to which the facilities of SciLifeLab contributed. See SciLifeLab Publications.
The data is available at README.
