Posting Publications
An all-new redesign of the layout for and the process of posting publication references will be released in the beginning of 2010. We are currently testing the new implementation with a special emphasis on improved usability. With the help of two screenshots we want to give you some insights into the new posting dialogues.
The new entry page for posting without using the bookmarklet consists of four tabs which separate the four different ways of posting references to BibSonomy:
- manually entering the details for one publication reference,
- uploading a text snippet which contains references in EndNote or BibTeX format,
- upload a file with references in EndNote/BibTeX format, or
- entering a ISBN or DOI and let BibSonomy gather the publication metadata.
In particular the process of posting several publications at once will be improved. For example, you will be able to select which posts should be stored and correct errors. The dialog for posting one reference will be similar to the bookmark posting dialog with the important BibTeX fields title, author, year, etc. on top and the additional fields below the tag and group selection:
Full Text Search
We will migrate our full text search from MySQL to Lucene. This will improve the response time, add boolean search options, and allow you to search for words with less than four characters.
Curriculum Vitae (CV)
As part of our efforts in the PUMA project, we are currently implementing a curriculum vitae page which allows you to show your profile information together with your latest publications on one page. That page can act as an entry page to your scientific work and possibly augment your homepage.
