add publications with Zotero

[bbest]

Hi @torieketcham,

For adding publications (per #10 (comment)), I highly recommend using Zotero to export to BibTex, then import into Wowchemy with their Python command all at once.

# install python module
pip3 install -U academic

# import BibTex file (*.bib)
academic import --bibtex <path_to_your/publications.bib>

Documentation

• Import from BibTeX - Create a publication | Wowchemy: Free Website Builder for Hugo

Tips

• Setup a group and add my Zotero username bdbest; or share your Zotero login with me and I can add you to my marinebon Zotero group.
• When you export the BibTex, choose to Keep it synchronized.
• Get the free Zotero desktop app for any OS (Win/Mac/Linux) + Chrome plugin. Then you can visit any article online and click a button to import the reference.

• Be sure to download, install and try the Chrome plugin too

Hi @bbest - This is very cool - I saw it mentioned in the wowchemy docs but didn't realize that you could actually import references with the Chrome plugin. That will save me so much time (I've been manually entering everything via the netlify CMS, which is excruciating). Thanks! I'll set it up and let you know.

Oooh. This publications functionality is even cooler than I realized!

Torie: you can just put all the .bib files in a directory here and then I will run the python script on all of them in one go.

Will do @7yl4r - I'm going to work on getting them all together in the next few days. @bbest - I've registered for Zotero with the username torie.ketcham

Right on @torieketcham and @7yl4r,

I invited you to marinebon Zotero group. Feel free to tweak that for your purposes. You can export as BibTex the whole group folder or subfolders.

If @7yl4r you also have a Zotero account, I could add you and then opening Zotero will similarly sync your exported BibTex file and you can run the Python from there. The beauty of a shared Zotero group is that others could also contribute and export.

Eventually we might be able to setup a Github Action to automatically handle the Python updating.

[torieketcham]

Awesome, thanks @bbest - I think I will start by adding all of the pubs that are currently on the MBON site to my library and then exporting that folder as BibTex for @7yl4r to help me run. Then I guess we could merge that with the MBON group (does it check for dupes or would it be better just to keep the folder separate anyway?). I'd also like to add specialized tags per the current site organization (i.e. ‘Omics and eDNA, Ocean Obs ‘19, Seascapes etc) so I will play around with that.

[torieketcham]

Hi @7yl4r - I've uploaded a .bib file of the publications to the /content/publication folder - let me know if I did it right and if you're able to run the script on it? @bbest I saved the publications to my zotero app, and I can't seem to get the sync working with my web library. If I can figure that out then maybe I can add these files to the marinebon group - you can let me know if there is a specific way in which you'd like to add them (as a subfolder, etc).

I think the error above is caused by a failure of the hugo command used to create index.md here. Because that command is being run as a subprocess without error checking, the script ignores any failures and then breaks later.

Documented the issue here.
