I've seen a number of sites and web controls for presenting a list of papers (e.g., in BibTex format) on one's personal website.  Some sites also allow you to manage your citation list, then link to a list of publications.  I was wondering about people's experiences with these different tools and the pros/cons.  While I've historically just manually dumped my refs in HTML format for my site, I'm looking to use something a bit more elegant and maintable these days.  Ideally, I would like it to have the following characteristics:   Easy to add/edit papers (e.g., generate from BibTex, Mendeley, online storage, etc.) Splitting papers into groups (e.g., journal papers, conference papers, etc.) Decent fallback display for users with JS disabled.  Ideally, no change at all. Papers sortable by year Can specify links or upload pre-print PDF's that users can download   Does anyone know how well existing solutions stack up on these?

This some kind of follow up question to , since I've been clearly convinced that it was in my best interest to put my own papers on my webpage.   Now, since I need to make the effort to put them, I might as well try to do it in a nice way. Right now, I'm using , which is a tool I can run locally, taking a bibtex file with my publications (that I create manually), and that outputs the resulting HTML, that I can copy/paste to my webpage.   I like it, but it can sometimes be complicated to use, so I was wondering if there exist some other tools? My ideal tool would be some tool where I could put the bibtex (one for each publication) and the pdf, and that would create a kind of database, such that I could sort my publications easily.   (Note: Right now, my webpage is hosted directly on Wordpress, so I can't host directly a PhP script, but if there were a really good tool, I could try to host my webpage myself.)

I'm not really a programmer but I'm quite interested in learning how to use LaTeX/TeX. I've looked it up on Wikipedia and scanned through it and the documents created through this way of editing is just  beautiful. Formulas are also available within it too, so writing math thesis or physics papers would be amazing.   Is this system just for programmers, or can normal people use it too? (I'm mainly a designer, so I usually edit it in Word or InDesign.)

Before I start my PhD I worked in a group that researched on the application of a particular area to a particular domain. No other research group published work in this area+domain. So I can safely say that my previous group is among the first if not the first to research in the application of that particular research area on that particular domain.   Now I find a paper published at an IEEE conference where a major part of its contribution is introducing a system that does something I did in a previously published paper, and it does it in the exact same way and even gives it the same name!   I know that some conferences could accept non-novel contributions. Also the paper talks about other aspects so I find it perfectly fine that this paper has been accepted and published. But what I find annoying is that they do not cite my relevant work which was published a year earlier and fairly visible online; A simple (unpersonalized) search on Google would show up at least three links to my work.   This is the second time I face this problem, but the first time this happened it was actually by the same group I worked with before; they published a related paper without citing the paper I co-authored with them.   I try to give the maximum possible exposure to my work by making it publicly available on my personal website, ResearchGate, making sure it appears on Google Scholar, etc..   I find it worrying that my work misses citations, I am keen on improving my h-index and citations count. So my questions are:   Is there anything I can do regarding that already-published paper?  Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening in the future?

I would like to have a professional academic webpage, and for different reasons, I don't want to use the website of my current workplace (mostly because due to some external factors, it's not currently possible where I work, but also because I consider changing affiliation in the future, and I'd like to avoid moving my webpage).  A possible solution I'm considering would be to rent a server somewhere, and to manage it myself, but I was wondering if it existed some dedicated solutions for academics, ideally coming for free (after all, I can archive my papers on arXiv for free, I have a free academic licence for Bitbucket, I use Dropbox with the free version, I can also use Mendeley and academia.edu for free, I currently have a free wordpress.com blog), with the constraint that I'd like to be able to write my own scripts (for instance to publish my personal list of publications , or to manage a list of conferences I'm interested in).

I'm using biblatex to print the bibliography for my document and I'm quite happy with the result. However, I also want to add a list of personal publications in another part of the document. It works very well with the refsection environment, but I would like to use for this part another style (e.g., ).   Q: Is it possible to use two different biblatex styles at different parts of a single document?    Example:  For the general bibliography:     Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford   Stein. Introduction to Algorithms, Third Edition. 3rd. The MIT Press,   2009   For the personal publication list:     1987 (with John Doe and Mary Hall). Are there new trends in gardening?   In: Gardening Practice 24, pp. 10–15.     It seems that the style can only be specified when loading the package which makes the style a global option. Is there a way around this?

I have several citations in a beamer-based presentation.  Is it possible to split the bibliography across two slides?  I'm using natbib / bibtex.  And I currently just have:  \begin{frame}  \tiny  \bibliographystyle{apalike} \bibliography{Biblio-Database}  \end{frame}   But we're to the point where even tiny won't cut it.  Is there anyway to do this?  I'd really prefer to not create the bibliography by hand because I once had it 'stuck to me' that I omitted an entry in the bibliography (which I'd created by hand)... nothing quite like ending on a clerical omission...

Archiving of papers and projects is very important for most of the people, and everyone has a method of it.   I, personally, try to have different folders for different papers. In the folder of each paper, in addition to my manuscript, I keep my simulation files, experimental data, program codes, etc, in different subfolders. Also, I try to keep track of my revisions on the paper, reviewer comments, my response to reviewers in different subfolders. My method has the advantage of all the related material for a paper are together, and I can quickly track the whole process from initial submission to the final proofreading. However, this usually leads to duplicated files.   I work with both my office desktop and my personal Laptop. I transfer my files between these systems by a flash memory. I agree maybe cloud technology is a better choice in this age, but I postponed it because of my poor internet connection at home.  I am curious to know how others approach to archive their works. I also hope to find some methods more efficient than mine, or get some tips to improve my method.  Edit at 2 Apr 13: Thanks to these great answers, it is almost a month that I use Git for my version control. Also, I manage my repositories in the , which gives me unlimited storage for unlimited number of projects.

How can I make things link url references, my index, table of contents, and cross references clickable links in documents produced by LaTeX? I generally use pdflatex to produce my documents.

I only recently started using Latex for my university documents and for my current one I am using a template provided by them.  I am using bibtex to manage my sources. Here is an example bibtex-entry:  @misc{webpage1,    shorthand = {CompanyName},    author = {Company Name Ltd.},    title="The company's webplatform",    howpublished = "\url{http://company.com/}",    lastchecked = {01.01.2013},    year = 2013 }  @misc{webpage2,    shorthand = {OtherCompanyName},    author = {Some other Company Name Ltd.},    title="Another company's webplatform",    howpublished = "\url{http://other-company.com/}",    lastchecked = {01.01.2013},    year = 2013 }   In my Latex document I use the following code to create a bibliography:  \bibliography{references}    % this causes the references to be listed (file: references.bib) \bibliographystyle{alpha}   My problem is now that when I compile my document, the result is that the bibliography has the following format:  [Ltd13a] Full Company Name Ltd. [Ltd13b] Some Other Company Name Ltd.   I already tried putting a comma between the name and the Ltd. like so:  author = {Company Name, Ltd.}   but this results in this  [FC13a] Ltd. Full Company Name   I have read that shorthand is supposed to help, but I did not succeed.

Please consider a list of items (forum comments, articles, shoes, doesn't matter) which are spread over multiple pages. Different sort orders are supported (by date, by popularity, by price, etc).  So, an URL might look like this (I use the query style here to simplify things):  /items?id=1234&amp;page=42&amp;sort=popularity  /items?id=1234&amp;page=5&amp;sort=date  Now, in terms of SEO, I think I should be worried about duplicate content. After all, each item appears at least as many times as there are sort orders.  I've seen Matt Cutts talking about the rel=canonical link tag, but he also said that the canonical page should have very similar content. But this is not the case here because page #1 in a non-canonical sort order might have completely different items than page #1 in the canonical sort order. For a given non-canonical page, there is no clear canonical page listing all the same items, so I think rel=canonical won't help here.  Then I thought about using the noindex meta tag on all pages with non-canonical sort order, and not using it on all pages with canonical sort order.  However, if I use that method, what will happen with backlinks that are going to non-canonical pages -- will they still spread their page rank juice, even though the first page googlebot (or any other crawler) is going to encounter is marked as "noindex"?  Can you please comment on my problem and what you think is the best solution?  If you think you have a better solution, please consider that 1) I do not want to use Javascript for this, 2) I do not want all the items to be on one page.  Thank you.

I'm looking for a reference manager with note-taking/quote-storing capabilities. I don't need a full knowledge management suite, but I want to find a program where I can store and search long notes/lots of quotes, attached to entries in my bibliography.  So far I've used:   Bib(La)TeX + pen and paper Zotero Mendeley Paperpile (Not sure about Endnote, but at least I haven't seen it used for what I need.)   Pen and paper obviously isn't searchable, and funnily enough, neither are the notes in Zotero. All of these programs treat notes as negligible, focusing on PDF metadata import and annotations, PubMed or Google Scholar search and whatnot. Which is all fine but not what I'm looking for. Since I work in the Arts &amp; Humanities I still have my fair share of books accompanying the PDF articles in my work routine. For those I don't need any online specialties but rather a way to attach lots of quotes, notes, summaries and so on.  From what I've heard, Citavi can do some things like that, but I'm nowhere near a Windows computer to try it out. Ideally I'm looking for Linux programs, I could try Mac, and give bonus points for a web interface.

I recently came across several papers in the area of Information Extraction and Data Mining which seem to have passed the review process even if they (1) use some new terminology without describing it, (2) replicate some old and popular technique and just describe it in a new way, (3) use new datasets without releasing them publicly or describing them in detail, (4) confusing language that doesn't seem to describe the methods... and much more.   Why challenge them? Such papers give these people a kind of leverage in situations where number of publications count rather than quality of genuine work. They also encourage, let's say, 'pseudoscience' within the scientific community - or fraud, as those more experienced among you say.  I've faced situations like:-   Someone hired me from a freelance site to implement a previously published paper. The paper doesn't adequately describe the novel methods they claim. I spend a week on it but don't get paid.  Similar situation but the implementation's accuracy doesn't match the claim. In a semi-academic gathering (tea time in a summer school), a discussion turned into a debate. Though I wasn't involved in it, one of the others said something which I pointed out as being logically wrong. It turned personal and one of them claimed that they knew better because of having twice the number of papers than me. Later when I read their papers I found that they didn't contain any ideas that would count as a genuine research.    I guess some of you might have been in similar situations before. Yes it doesn't matter in the longer term; but it is hard to avoid some situations like this and I think it might be hampering the research community as a whole.   Here are the exact points of my question:   Should we confront such publications? Would we get anything out of it?  Is it even feasible?   How can I do so? What actions are possible in such cases? What is the best course of action?   p.s. Yes citations matter more than just throwing papers - but such publications also get citations from other equally content-less papers published in similar conferences.   pps. Most of these papers are from less-than-tier-3 level conferences but still published by top publishers like IEEE and Springer.

I wonder how we can list author names in the following format in LaTeX.   I have 5 authors with 3 different affiliations. I am trying to list all author names with refmark in one row, and 3 affiliations with refmark in another row, but each in one separated column. It should look like this:          author1{1} author2{2} author3{1} author4{2} author5{3}            {1}department      {2}department        {3}department               school              school              school               email                email              email   I did saw some papers that have the above format, but cannot search for any guideline. IEEE guideline suggests another way to list authors, but sadly it does not look that neat          author1{1} author2{2} author3{1} author4{2} author5{3}                         {1} department, school                               email                         {2} department, school                               email                         {3} department, school                               email

So for a report my teacher gave us exact prerequisite for the layout. He wants in text footnote citations in the author-year style and the bibliography in  the APA (5th) style. EDIT: The reference list should be numberd and sorted according to the appearence and I think corresponding to the footnote number.  Because I do not want to merge 5 .doc (MS Word) files from my group members and format everything in MS Word I need to get this to work in LaTeX.  Currently I am trying to get this to work with biblatex and Biber, but the combination of the two styles turns out to be very difficult to me. I am not set on biblatex. So, if it can be done with BibTeX or whatever, that is fine.

I'm using:  \documentclass[oneside,article,openbib,12pt,titlepage]{memoir} \usepackage[authoryear,round]{natbib} % Better bibliography support \bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}   in the preamble of my document and  \backmatter \renewcommand{\bibname}{References} \bibliographystyle{chicago}    \bibliography{listb,mybib}   in the body of the file. But a typical formatted reference is:     Freely, I. (1997).   A small paper.   The journal of small papers -1. to appear.   I've tried other non-natbib styles (e.g., regstud), and the reference flows and wraps as it should. So how does one get natbib to do the same?  Also, how does one get natbib to include the authors' entire first names?

I want to output something like this:     Pew Research Center for the People &amp; the Press. (2008). April 2012 Values Survey [Data file]. Available from Pew Research Center for the People &amp; the Press Web site:    How would I enter that into ? I use BibDesk to manage my citations.

I've recently started a major redesign for a large web-based financial tool. To aid future development, I'm planning on generating a UX style guide that outlines best practices for things like forms, page layouts, animations, etc...   The existing application is a big jumble of forms with little grouping or organization. I can see a few major categories, (Object CRUD forms, static data, user session management controls, etc...) but there's a lot of very custom functionality that doesn't fit the mold.  The company I'm working with does it's development overseas, and this documentation is intended to support future development. I'm not looking to design the most amazing UX ever, I just want things to be functional. What's the best way to communicate designs to remote teams?  Here's my question:  What's the best way to approach a big messy project like this? (Major groups first, then focus on each custom function? Do you even include the custom functions in the documentation?)
