Utility script for generating conflict of interest tables for grants.
This directory contains a Python script that will read a specially-formated Excel file and write out a list of collaborators in the format needed by different types of grants.
No installation is required, but there are Python dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txtThe Excel document associated with this repository, collaborators.xlsx, which contains lists of different types of collaborators.
For now, the types are limited to "co-author" and "mentorship" relationships.
In the case of co-authors, you list their affiliations and the last date you published a paper with them.
Once you update the lists of authors in these lists, the print-collab-table.py script will allow you to render the data in different formats.
To run the script with default settings, simply call python print-collab-table.py from the command line.
print-collab-table takes several different keyword arguments.
For example, --date sets the submission date for the grant, which changes which authors are included in the COI list.
Call python print-collab-table.py --help for a full list of options.
The script currently only supports a few different formats:
- DOE format, which separates "Co-authors," "Co-editors" and "Advisees/Mentors" and writes them in three separate sections in a table format. The code currently uses
longtableto generate multi-page tables. - BES format, which saves the collaborators in a single CSV file.
- Paragraph format, which writes out the author names in a long sentence
