format bibbase so it's being indexed by google scholar

SerengetiT 12 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 12 jaar geleden 3

Would be great if the formatting of the entries are compatible with the google bots so it gets indexed by google scholar.

Particularly also for the mendeley databases

This is a great suggestion! Thanks for the pointer. It is indeed a goal of bibbase to do the SEO (search engine optimization) for its users. So features like this rank highly on my to-do list. I'll look into it.


Update (see comments): this is a non-issue. As for Mendeley papers, we have to respect Mendeley's robots.txt just as much as Google does.

zotero bibbase python error

BibBase is really slow today

Chris Cole 10 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 10 jaar geleden 3
Hi,

I've been testing a new website over the last couple of weeks and BibBase seemed to be the best option, but today - when it went live, of course - I'm finding it's really slow to load (~20 seconds).

This is not acceptable as most visitors won't wait that long.

Is this a problem of capacity or something?

Thanks for pointing this out, Chris. I believe I was able to fix it.

If this is the page in question, then I think it is much faster again: http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/user/ccole/refs.html.

If that's no the one and it is still slow, please point me to your page for testing.

Thanks.

Author initials in reverse order

Ashton Bradley 10 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 10 jaar geleden 3
Embedding using the iframe approach, the bibtex author field is parsed incorrectly so that for example

author={Bradley, A S}

becomes

Bradley; S A

Accents parsing

Eliseo Ferrante 12 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Tony 6 jaar geleden 9
Hi and thank you for your amazing work. I have a problem, but I'm not understanding whether I'm doing something wrong myself or not.

None of the accents in my bib are visualizing correctly with bibbase.

http://www.bibbase.org/show?bib=http://iridia.ulb....

Example: Decugni\`ere -> DecugniÌ€ere instead of Decugnière

I also notice weird characters also where I do not use special commands. What can I be doing wrong? Latex generates perfect documents using that bibtex file.

Thanks for the help!

Authors' names are clickable links

Oleg Makarenkov 12 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Phil Schumm 6 jaar geleden 7
Some authors' names are clickable links and some are not. How can I ask bibbase to either do clickable links for all the authors or for none of them?
Antwoord
Christian Fritz 8 jaar geleden
Oleg, bibbase turns author names into links for all those authors who also use bibbase. I've noticed on your page that some of your coauthors who get linked don't actually use bibbase, but that bibbase currently incorrectly guesses the owners of some pages they link to. I'll look into that because it shouldn't happen.

More generally though it is not possible to suppress those links. If and when it is working correctly, I consider it a feature that bibbase automatically keeps track of the current page of your coauthors. Many authors like to keep a list of their collaborators and this is a feature that offers that with no effort on the author's side.

Users shouldn't be taken away from the current page to the bibbase page

Paul Parsons 10 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 10 jaar geleden 3
When clicking on a publication, users shouldn't be taken away from the current page to the bibbase page. It is very confusing and they often don't know how to get back.This is especially true if they click on the bibbase logo. There is no visual indication that they are going somewhere else. They see "sign in" and other confusing information.

Abstracts not properly escaped in BibBase v3

Raphael ‘kena’ Poss 12 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 12 jaar geleden 1
If the abstract contains an apostrophe (') the generated abstract link is incorrect and does not work properly; for example:

  <a class="bibbase_abstract_link" href="javascript:showAbstract('... the platform's hardware concurrency management and latency tolerance....')">Abstract</a>

The string delimiter in the abstract text should be escaped.

Hi Raphael,


Thanks for reporting this bug. It's fixed now. Unfortunately, I can't seem to force your page to reload though. I suspect the php proxy is caching the old version. So I can't test it on your page.

accept one-off fees for faster processing, longer files

Maximilian Held 11 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 11 jaar geleden 5
(this is half idea, half praise).

I love this service so much -- it's a godsend, especially, if like me, you're getting off of Mendeley and back to basic BibDesk/Bibtex/Github.

I like BibBase so much, I'd be willing to pay for it (preferably one-off? or a donation?), maybe in return for faster processing and/or acceptance of longer files.

I use BibBase a lot for class reading lists, and would also like to have a "I read recently listing" from my entire 4MB file, but I noticed that such long files don't fare well.

(or maybe this isn't even possible in terms of architecture?)

Is bibbase down right now? And if so, does this happen frequently?

Sorry, there was a technical glitch. It's fixed now.

No, this does not happen frequently and I'm working on reducing outages like this to zero.
